Kriti Sanon to feature in Meena Kumari's biopic directed by Manish Malhotra?

Ace actress Kriti Sanon will reportedly star in Meena Kumari's biopic film, directed by designer Manish Malhotra. 

Manish spoke to Film Companion recently where he spilled beans about his upcoming venture. He shared that the Meena Kumari biopic is in the scripting phase at present.

During the conversation with entertainment portal, he said: “I don’t know how it got out, but it is happening. We are still working on the script. The script is key, always. I have been reading her books. The film is based on her books. I have always been fascinated by Meena Kumari.”

Manish, 56, admitted that veteran actor Rekha inspired him to make a biopic on the life of Meena Kumari.

He stated: “Rekha told me once that you know when you turn 40, you will understand the genius of Meena Kumari. And that is true. But I was young and I was busy working but when I turned 40 I not only understood the genius of Meena Kumari but even Nargis ji and Dilip Kumar and Guru Dutt."

"I started watching that cinema and understanding it so much better. I think Meena Kumari is phenomenal with her expressions, the way she uses her eyes and her adah.”

According to India Today, Manish Malhotra is soon going to make his directorial debut under the banner of Dharma Productions.
