Manish Malhotra to direct Kriti in Meena Kumari’s biopic

Several months or maybe a year ago Hansel Mehta was attached to this project and Kriti was brought on board. So I don’t know what changed and how Manish who has no directing experience got this job. But he’s liked this post so looks like it is true.

I agree with this as well.

Meena Kumari’s life requires a very strong performer. I don’t think Kriti is it.

A tall,slender Kriti Sanon to portray the character short,plump Meena Kumari.Got it wrong at the first step.

That’s part of Bollywood’s problem. Everything is done with the specific purpose of making money. I understand that’s important and vital for the survival of the industry. But there also has to be some room for movies that are entirely performance based, and then do what Hollywood does and go campaign for awards.
