Wanted: Madhubala for Anurag Basu's Biopic on Kishore Kumar

Madhubala and Kishore Kumar

According to the filmy grapevine, Anurag Basu is penning a biopic on the legendaryKishore Kumar and has already roped in Ranbir Kapoor to play the role of the iconic singer and actor.

However, rumours have it that Basu has still not zeroed in on to who will play the female lead. Names like Katrina Kaif and Kangana Ranaut are being thrown about but there has been no official confirmation.

Strangely though, just recently we came across this meme on Twitter and if Anurag Basu is reading this post, he might want to consider'

Madhubala and Karishma Kotak (inset)

This picture of Madhubala and Karishma Kotak has been flying around in cyberspace for a while and if you haven't yet seen it, don't you think the British born model and TV presenter bears an uncanny resemblance to the late star?

Who do you think should play Madhubala in the biopic? Tell us in the comments below!

Anurag Basu More Pics
Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who is scripting late singer Kishore Kumar's biopic, is still hunting for the actress to play yesteryear divaMadhubala in the film.

"I am hunting for Madhubala but it is too early to talk about it. Casting happens two to three months before we start shooting. The film is in its initial stage and would probably release next year," Anurag said.

While Ranbir has been roped in to play Kishore Kumar's role, there were reports that Kangna Ranaut or Katrina Kaif might step into the role of Madhubala. However, no official confirmation has been made.

The biopic will go on floors soon.

Ohh God!! I can only hope not for Kat!!
There's no way in hell Katrina can play Madhubala :( Not even Kangana. I cant think of a single girl from BW right now who will do even half a justice to Madhubala.

Well If I really really have to chose I think the girl Neha what'shername who is coming in Jayantabhai ki love story is the prettiest heroine I have seen in BW since a long time so just maybe she could be atleast considered for the beauty part of it...pales in comparison i Know!

Katrina Kaif is playing Madhubala in this movie. She is confirmed for the role. Shooting begins in 2014.

RanKat my lovebirds are back


Kishor Kumar had 3 more wives. The bengali wife will mostly likely be played by Rani Mukerji. The other 2 wives will be played by new comers.
