Madhubala biopic paused for financial reworking
The highly-anticipated Madhubala biopic has hit pause because of money issues.
Originally set to cost a massive ₹80-100 crore, the film—directed by Jasmeet K Reen and produced by Sony, Brewing Thoughts, and Madhubala Pictures—ran into problems with expensive sets and period details.
TL;DR
Filming could start by 2nd quarter of 2023
Producers are now trying to slash the budget by half without losing the film's grand feel. Until they figure out finances, talks with top actresses are on hold.
Still, there's hope filming could start by the second quarter of 2023.
The project is close to home for Madhubala's family, with her sister Madhur Brij Bhushan on board as a producer.
