Why Imtiaz Ali dropped his Madhubala biopic project
According to the reports, The Madhubala biopic was supposed to be officially announced on Valentine’s Day 2020. Fans of the director were highly excited about this news, but Imtiaz Ali has dropped the project to the dismay of the fans. Reports state that Madhur Bhushan has revealed the reason behind this, and has stated that Ali and Reliance Entertainment had asked Madhubala’s family for a NOC but they did not permit this as they are not comfortable with a Madhubala biopic.
Bhushan also stated that Kaneez’s kids did not allow her to talk to Bhushan. She requested them to read the agreement but they sent notices to her and the makers. Thus, Ali terminated the contract citing the misunderstanding. He was going to announce the biopic on Madhubala’s birthday, which will coincide with the release of Imtiaz Ali’s latest film, Love Aaj Kal.
Bhushan also stated that she, along with her guruji Arvind Malviya, who was also backing the project, wanted to open a school, which will provide free education to poor girls. Fans are disheartened by this news but are patiently waiting for the time to arrive when there will be a biopic on Madhubala, one of India's most revered actors of all time.
