Meena Kumari’s fans have been looking forward to her biopic, which will see Kriti Sanon step into the actor’s shoes and couturier Manish Malhotra turning director. But it looks like the much-anticipated project has been postponed again. Sources say that Malhotra, who was supposed to call action on his first directorial venture in October, has now pushed it to early 2025. This isn’t the first time the biopic has been delayed. Originally, it was to roll in October 2023, which was then pushed by a year.
