Siddharth P Malhotra and Meena Kumari
A love that transcended death
Siddharth P Malhotra is set to direct a biopic on legendary actor Meena Kumari and her filmmaker husband Kamal Amrohi, titled Kamal Aur Meena (Who will play Meena Kumari in Siddharth P Malhotra’s film?, January 31). The filmmaker has now revealed that the script is based on 500 handwritten love letters and diaries exchanged between the couple. “We have 500 handwritten love letters and diaries, and over 2000 pages of texts. So, whatever is in the film is the absolute actual reality,” he said in a recent interview. The film will apparently recreate the period from 1950 to 1970 and feature unreleased songs from Kamal’s iconic film Pakeezah (1972). The team is reportedly on a look out for “A listers” to star in the film and has apparently shortlisted three actors for the lead roles. A R Rahman will compose the music for the biopic, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
