After welcoming her daughter, Saraayah, last year, Kiara Advani has been on a maternity break, staying away from film announcements.

However, industry sources have now dismissed the rumours, calling the casting claims baseless.
A report by Variety claimed that, “The Madhubala biopic is back on track and will go on floors by the end of this year. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has come on board to produce, with Kiara Advani starring in the lead role.”
