Anyways I’m surprised they have the rights to make this movie . I’ll think the original Indian studios have the right to the story . Maybe because it’s literature no one has a right to it? This whole rights thing delayed maula jatt for years so I hope the producers do their due diligence this time.

Oh just saw that the son of the original director denied giving the rights of the movie to Pakistani actress meera in 2013

There was a legal battle over it in 2017 also

Masha Allah , you did good research.

Not just the rights. None can replace Meena Kumari in this. She was ill yet she made this role memorable because of her gr8 acting. I remember when it came on an Arabian tv MBC.. I wasn't aware of the actors.. I didn't know them. But it took me only few seconds to lose my self in the world of Pakeezah. And the songs were from another world. I didn't understand a word.. but they made me feel.❤️

Mahira would suck as Pakeezah🤢

Pls no!! Not her fgs..

She tries hard to come off as an yesteryear actress.. especially on her insta.. 😆

I can't think of any actress who has the poise, gloom, and ethereal beauty of Meena Kumari - three qualities that are imperative to do justice to this role..
