Kiara Advani and Aneet Padda Linked to Madhubala Biopic but Reports Remain Unverified

Speculation around the upcoming biopic on legendary actress Madhubala intensified after conflicting reports surfaced about who would play the iconic star on screen. While earlier industry chatter linked Kiara Advani to the role, new rumours suggested that rising actor Aneet Padda might replace her.

The debate began when reports claimed that Kiara Advani had been approached to portray Madhubala in the much discussed film. However, later updates clarified that the actress had never been officially finalised for the project. The casting speculation continued to circulate online, leading to confusion among fans and industry watchers.

Soon after, social media discussions shifted toward Aneet Padda, who gained attention following her performance in the 2025 film Saiyaara. Some reports suggested she had been chosen to take on the challenging role of the legendary star. However, representatives connected to the actor denied these claims and clarified that the news was inaccurate.

With both claims dismissed, the casting for the Madhubala biopic remained uncertain. The project continued to generate interest due to Madhubala’s enduring legacy as one of Hindi cinema’s most admired performers.

For now, filmmakers had not made any official announcement about the lead actor. Until a confirmation is issued, the question of who will portray Madhubala on the big screen remained open.
