Filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra, who has directed a film like “Maharaj,” will soon make you feel your imagination run wild with another love story on the big screen Scheduled to hit theaters in 2026, the movie “Kamal Aur Meena” is a fictionalized love story that takes off from Kamal Amrohi and actress Meena Kumari’s real-life affair. Though the cast details are still not disclosed by Amardeep yet, there have been multiple reports claiming Bollywood darling Kiara Advani is all set to step into Meena Kumari’s shoes.
Kiara Advani to feature in Meena Kumari’s Biopic?
The speculations on Kiara Advani began after a Reddit user posted the screen grab of Yoodlee films’ announcement video which was uploaded on Instagram where one can notice her name. The user shared, “While it’s still early to confirm, the director of Meena Kumari’s biopic recently started following Kiara and continues to engage with her last three posts. Kiara is the only actress who liked the film’s announcement video.”
Kiara’s like on the video has drawn fuel to rumors of her playing Meena Kumari. Additionally, observant fans realized that one of the directors Siddharth P. Malhotra has followed Kiara on Instagram and also commented on her latest social media posts, which gave more power to these assumptions. The filmmaker also took to social media and shared his excitement stating, “Kamal Aur Meena—A cinematic experience that promises to be one of the most iconic love stories in Hindi cinema. It will bring to life the genuine romance between legendary director Kamal Amrohi and renowned actress Meena Kumari.”
In addition, Bollywood-based fashion designer Manish Malhotra has announced his biopic which is about the late Meena Kumari’s life where actress Kriti Sanon will be seen in the lead role. Yet, the reports suggest that this plan has been postponed for unnamed reasons– but we know production was slotted to begin in early 2025. Notably, two distinct films will be based on the life of the late actress Meena Kumari.
