A new update on Madhubala’s biopic suggests that Sara Arjun was secretly offered the lead role, and she has accepted it. Directed by Jasmeet K Reen and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this biopic has been the talk of the town for a long time, as everyone was eager to know the cast.
Before this update came out, popular faces like Kiara Advani and Aneet Padda were linked to the project in various news reports, but those rumors turned out to be wrong because the production house revealed that they were looking for a fresh face, not a popular one.
It is a major career boost for Sara Arjun after her recent success in the mega blockbuster movie Dhurandhar 2 with Ranveer Singh, and this new role can cement her position as a big star if she manages to pull off her role in the film.
If we look at whether she is the right choice for the part, her facial features and natural old world charm work in her favor because she has an elegance that reminds many people of the vintage era of Bollywood movies. While some experts say she might be a bit too young at twenty years old, it is actually a fitting choice when you consider that Madhubala herself was very young when she started her career in Hindi cinema. So Sara seems like a good fit for this character.
Also, Kiara Advani has become slightly overaged to play Madhubala, especially after her pregnancy. She looks buxom and does not fit into Madhubala’s shoes. Aneet Padda would have been a good choice, but some industry people feel Aneet is still not suitable for such legendary emotional roles.
With the creative support of Bhansali and the direction of Jasmeet, this project could become a masterpiece that honors India’s most loved star.
