There has been speculation in Bollywood for a long time about Meena Kumari’s biopic. Who will be the tragedy queen of the screen? The names of a few actresses were being heard. Sometimes Kriti Sanon, sometimes Kiara Advani, and sometimes Tripti Dimri were also heard. Finally, the decision was final. Media outlet Mid-Day reported that Kiara Advani is going to play Meena Kumari in the film ‘Kamal Aur Meena’ directed by Sidharth P Malhotra.
Permission to make a biopic of Meena Kumari has been received from her family. Meena married ‘Pakeezah’ famous director Kamal Amrohi. They came close to each other while working on the film. They got married secretly. However, the relationship was not happy in the end. This painful relationship between Kamal and Meena Kumari is the main subject of the biopic. It is known that the Amrohi family is taking the initiative to make the film.
The film Kamal Aur Meena is being made with a huge budget and grand plans. The makers claim that this is going to be one of the biggest biopics in the history of Bollywood. The makers believe that Kiara has the emotion, depth and noble appearance required for the character of Meena Kumari. They believe that only Kiara can make Meena’s character believable on screen. Kamal Aur Meena is going to be Kiara’s first biopic. After becoming a mother, she will return to the camera with this project. Kiara will learn Urdu for acting in it.
Times of India reported that the shooting of the film will begin in the first half of next year. The plan is to release it in 2026. The tension, love and rift between Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi is the main basis of this film. So who will be Kiara’s hero on screen, that is the most interesting thing now.
Meena Kumari is the name of a bright star in the history of Indian cinema. She is known to the audience as the ‘tragedy queen’. Because, her performance in sad scenes was memorable. Meena Kumari has left her mark in more than 90 films including ‘Baiju Baora’, ‘Parineeta’, ‘Saheb Bibi Aur Golam’, ‘Kajal’, ‘Pakeezah’. This legend died at the age of just 38.
Meena Kumari’s biopic is being considered as one of the milestones in Kiara’s career. Because, in this role, Kiara will have to portray a woman whose entire life was shrouded in sorrow, love, humiliation, pain and loneliness. If she can portray pure depression in this role, Kiara will become the ‘new tragedy queen’.
