It's the season of biopics in B-Town! After Sanju and Soorma, legendary film actress late Madhubala’s biopic is in the pipeline. The youngest sister of the veteran actress, Madhur Brij Bhushan recently announced that she is planning to make a biopic on her sister.
Madhur Brij did not disclose any names, but maintained that the film will be produced by her “dear friends”. “I am going in for a biopic on my sister, which will be produced by my very dear friends, very soon. It’s my humble request to all the well-wishers of Madhubala and whosoever is connected with Bollywood or elsewhere to please not attempt a biopic or anything else based on my sister’s life without my permission,” Bhushan told IANS.
“The details will be known to her fans and to all concerned when the right time comes. So, please try to avoid any kind of unpleasant situation," she added.
Madhur Brij, apparently has been thinking about a biopic on her illustrous sister’s life since the time a wax statue of the late veteran actress was unveiled last year at Madame Tussauds museum in Delhi.
“A number of people from Bollywood and otherwise have approached Bhushan repeatedly over the past few years to acquire the rights to make a film on Madhubala’s life. But she has always been clear that full justice should be done to her sister’s life and that’s why a film should be made in a beautiful manner. She thinks this is the right time to go ahead with it,” a source said told the agency.
Although the director and actors for the biographical film are yet to be decided, all the details will positively be out officially by the end of the year, the source went on to say. “Bhushan won’t be directing the film for sure. Only the top names are going to be involved with the film,” the source added.
Madhubala, popularly known as The Venus of Indian Cinema and The Beauty with Tragedy, is still remembered and celebrated. Her films, including Mughal-e-Azam, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, Mr and Mrs 55 and Mahal have made a mark, hard to efface.
