Veteran actress Madhubala, who is still remembered for her role as Anarkali in the Hindi classic historical epic drama Mughal-e-Azam, was one of the highest-paid entertainers of her time. Sher bagged several awards and accolades. Her performance is often described as one of the finest in Indian cinematic history.
Nearly a half-century after her death, the yesteryear actress is soon to get a biopic and makers are reportedly approaching several actresses for the role. Many A-list actresses are keen to play the role in the biopic. This led us to wonder which actresses would be the right fit for the role or would like to see in the role. We have put together a list of six actresses who may fit the bill. Let’s take a look:

Kangana is one of the top actresses in Hindi cinema and has given multiple blockbusters. The actress could be the apt choice for the role of Madhubala given her amazing performance. She is known for getting into the skin of the character and delivering a convincing performance. Her forthcoming film Emergency trailer was recently dropped and her portrayal of Indira Gandhi has received positive reception. Although fans would love to see her in the role, the recent controversy paints her in a negative light after Dhaakad’s failure at the box office. Her previous releases like Thalaivii, and Panga too did not live up to the expectation at the box office. That being said, we will have to wait and see whether the producers will be convinced to cast her in the role.

It is also worth pointing out that her last two releases 83 and Chhaapak did not meet the expectation at the box office. However, it would be interesting to see her playing the enigmatic personality on screen.
