What's the story

Acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is reportedly set to wrap up the shooting of his upcoming film Love & War at Royal Palms, Goregaon, by the end of August. The same location will then be transformed for his much-anticipated Madhubala biopic, which stars Sara Arjun (21). Bhansali will be producing the ambitious project.

Production details

Film to likely release directly on OTT

A source told Mid-Day, "After the Love & War shoot concludes in August-end, the production design team of the Madhubala biopic will start work on transforming the space."

The film is expected to roll in September.

It will be directed by Jasmeet K Reen (Darlings) and is likely to be released directly on OTT.

Role preparation

Arjun is currently prepping for the role

The source further added, "Sara has started preparing for the role. Jasmeet wants to capture Madhubala's personality, mannerisms, and the world she inhabited."

The film was earlier stalled due to budgetary issues but gained speed after Bhansali came on board as a producer.

Meanwhile, Bhansali's Love & War stars Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, and Ranbir Kapoor, and will release on January 21, 2027.
