Rumors about a biopic on the late actor were denied by Madhubala’s family in 2022. They stated, “The idea is to not hurt anyone’s sentiments (through the said biopic) but we will showcase several unknown facets of Madhu Apa’s life which aren’t out in public. The film shall also put a number of misnomers/inaccuracies about her life to rest. Makers of Apa’s biopic backed by me will have all the creative freedom to put out her life in a truthful and honest manner.”
Casting-related information is anticipated. According to reports, the biography will begin filming this summer.
