Madhubala biopic: The late star’s sister serves legal notice to Sony Pictures; says she is ‘anxiously waiting for some progress or update’ on the film

It goes without saying that back in the 50s and 60s, Madhubala ruled the roost with her incredulous talent and peerless beauty. That’s why, the late superstar and her life has always been the centre of attention with a number of modern-day actors and film-makers. No doubt then that the announcement of the Madhubala biopic at the start of last year, by Sony Pictures, created tonnes of buzz in the film circles.

There’s been no news on the Madhubala biopic front since the announcement, around March last year. Ask the late actor’s sister, Madhur about it, and she retorts angrily, “We are in 2025 now. It’s been close to two years [since we signed the agreement] and I am still anxiously waiting for some progress or update, vis-à-vis the start date or muhurat of the film.”

Madhur adds, “It’s embarrassing for me to say but I have no answer [about the status of the film] because I myself have been waiting to hear from Sony Pictures for past several months. They have only given us extremely vague responses till date. That wait is becoming endless with a frustrating delay from studio’s side.”

Madhur and her team signed the agreement with Sony Pictures in May 2023. “I didn’t expect this from a top film company like Sony,” she says, adding: “We have sent multiple mails to them [Sony Pictures] but to no avail. I myself sent a detailed mail to them about the film but they haven’t bothered to reply to it, till date.”

In fact, Madhur, through her legal team, has recently served a legal notice to Sony Pictures. “I was left with no option, to be honest. I am a senior citizen and not getting young, so this endless wait makes me very unhappy, but I feel extremely helpless. However, along with my partners, I plan to do whatever it takes to ensure that the film is made, anyhow,” says Madhur.

As Madhubala’s 92nd birth anniversary draws close, a “disheartened” Madhur says that due to “inexplicable” delay from Sony Pictures, her special plans to honour Madhubala’s legacy has been delayed indefinitely.

“I wanted to do certain things in my sister’s memory – have her statue installed, do something for an old-age home and music school etc. This is the least I can do for her. But this inordinate delay has thrown all the plans off track. It’s very disheartening. My simple question [to Sony] is: ‘do you want to make the film? Are you even serious about the biopic? What is your plan?’ Please give some clarity. What wrong have I done to deserve this treatment,” she says.

Madhur, though, continues to be extremely gung-ho about the biopic that will be a “true tribute to my iconic sister’s life.” She says, “Madhu aapa had a super successful career and she was a top star but at heart, she always remained a family girl, who loved simple things of life. I guess, her immeasurable beauty made up for everything that she may have lacked. Since I am not getting any younger, so, I just hope and pray that the film gets made at the earliest and I can see my long-standing dream coming true in front of my eyes.”

Madhur adds that she, along with her team, “will do whatever it takes to get the film made anyhow.” She says, “A number of Madhubala’s fans are eagerly waiting for the film [on my sister’s life]. When I am asked about the same, I have no answer for them. In fact, many feel cheated that I promised a film to them but nothing has happened till date.”

Although Madhubala, as a subject, has always attracted attention from a number of filmmakers and actors. But Madhur insists that no one, other than who she and the family authorise, can attempt any film or show etc. on her late sister’s life.

“It’s my humble appeal to everyone to stay away from any such stunt [making content on Madhubala’s life]. We won’t let anyone else attempt any such film. It’s mine/ my family’s exclusive emotional right. I just want to tell people to not attempt anything distasteful,” she says, adding, “Dekhiye yeh meri family aur meri emotions se connected hai. Toh meri sirf ek hi request hai ki kucch bhi aisa naa karein jisse rishte kharaab ho, and which is in bad taste.”

Madhur says she has a “humble request” for everyone to “not indulge in unnecessary adventurism.” She adds, “I am making the film with my partners, so kindly don’t come in between. I, along with my partners, would do everything possible — including taking legal steps – to safeguard my family’s interests,” says Madhur, adding that in the past, she and her partners have taken stringent legal action against a couple of “mischief makers”. “And, we would not shy away from doing the same if anyone tries to forcefully attempt any film/show on my sister’s life,” she says.

For many years now, Madhur has gone out of the way to do her bit to keep Madhubala’s beautiful legacy alive and take it even further. At this point though, she is “disappointed” that some articles and stories paint her in a very bad light, without knowing the ‘real truth.’ “It’s very upsetting to hear or read about such inane and unsubstantiated reports and articles,” she says, adding that certain online articles and vlogs have tried to tarnish her image.

“I have worked extremely hard all my life. I want to ask such people, ‘do you know me? Have you tried to talk to me? How can you say such hurtful things then? Surely, Madhubala was a top star and I will all always be indebted to her for a lot of things but not many know that I have myself been working since a very young age to make a name and career for myself in the world of music, dubbing and advertising etc. And I can proudly state that I have created a successful business on my own. That way, I am also a self-made person,” she says.
