Kiara Advani Not Cast as Madhubala in her Biopic

Recent reports claiming that Kiara Advani would play the legendary Madhubala in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali-produced biopic have been debunked. An industry source confirmed that these claims are completely baseless and speculative. The much-anticipated project is still in early development, with no official casting announcements made.

The biopic is set to be directed by Jasmeet K. Reen, known for her debut film Darlings, which starred Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, and Vijay Varma. While fans were excited to hear Kiara’s name attached, she is not involved in the project. Kiara was last seen in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR and will next appear in Toxic: A FairyTale for GrownUps.

Madhubala, a celebrated icon of 1950s Indian cinema, starred in classics like Mughal-e-Azam and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Despite her early death at 36 due to a congenital heart defect, she remains a timeless figure in Bollywood history.

Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra turned 41 on January 16, celebrating with an intimate late-night gathering at home. Close friends and family attended, including filmmaker Karan Johar and designer Manish Malhotra. The couple, who welcomed their daughter Saraayah in 2025, kept the event private, reflecting their preference for a low-key family life.

Kiara Advani shared a special video from the celebration, singing the birthday song Baar Baar Din Ye Aaye as Sidharth smiled beside her. The cake, decorated with “Saraayah’s Papa” and “Daddy Cool,” highlighted Sidharth’s role as a loving father. Kiara posted a heartfelt message, calling him “Saraayah’s favourite human” and expressing her affection for her husband and their little one.

Professionally, Sidharth was last seen in Param Sundari and will appear next in Vvan: Force of the Forrest. Kiara, after War 2, is currently focusing on family while balancing motherhood.
