ETimes had broken the news about the upcoming biopic that is in the works with producer Tutu Sharma backing the venture. However, according to the latest reports, Bhushan is set to take the legal route to make sure that the producer does not take the project forward.
Bhushan, who is also backing a biopic on her sister, is making sure that only her producers have the creative liberty while bringing the story forward. In an interview with Pinkvilla, she warned, “Let me make one thing clear, there’s going to be only one Madhubala biopic that will be backed by me and my team.”
She went on to add that the film will showcase several unknown facets of Madhubala’s life which aren’t out in public. She also said that only the biopic that she produces will have the ‘creative freedom to bring to life the actress’ life in a ‘truthful and honest manner’.
When asked the reason behind the same, she said it was to safeguard her family’s interests.
ETimes reported that Writer Sushila Kumari filed a Rs 1 crore lawsuit against Bhushan for running down her book ‘Madhubala: Dard Ka Safar’. Tutu Sharma’s upcoming film is based on this book for which he bought the rights.
