In their heyday, Madhubala and Dilip Kumarset the screen on fire with their sizzling chemistry. Not only that, they were romantically involved off screen as well.

With both the birth and death anniversary of one of Bollywood's most beautiful actresses having gone by in February, a leading television channel is now producing a show based on her life and love, we hear.

Tentatively titled Kathputli, the TV show will be produced by Saurabh Tiwari, and will star popular television actors Dhrishti Dhami and Vivaan Dsena as Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, respectively. Raj Zhutshi will essay the role of Madhubala's father, Ata Ulla Khan.

A source close to the project told Mirror, "It is a show about the tragic love story of Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, which is probably one of the most talked about in the Indian film industry. The story deals with their careers and how their relationship ended on a bitter note due to a misunderstanding between Dilip Kumar and Madhubala's father. Currently being shot, the show will be on air by next month. All other details are being kept under wraps."

Meanwhile, Saurabh Tiwari remained unavailable for comment.
