Rising Indian actor Sara Arjun is set to take on one of Bollywood’s most iconic roles. The young star has reportedly been cast to portray legendary actress Madhubala in an upcoming film.
Sara Arjun, who recently gained attention for her appearance in Dhurandhar, has secured the much-awaited role of Madhubala.
The casting comes after the role remained unfilled for a long time, despite the project being announced earlier.

Sources indicate that the preparation process will focus on capturing the grace and screen presence that defined the late actress.
Tribute to a Bollywood legend
Madhubala, born Mumtaz Jehan Begum Dehlavi, is regarded as one of the most celebrated stars of Indian cinema.
She appeared in more than 70 films during her career and became a symbol of the golden era of Hindi cinema before passing away in 1969 at the age of 36 due to a heart attack.
The upcoming biopic will be directed by Jasmeet K Reen and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The project is expected to go into production later this year and will explore Madhubala’s life and her journey through Bollywood’s golden era.
