Sanjay Leela Bhansali plans to begin work on a Madhubala biopic in September, with Sara Arjun cast as Madhubala, according to multiple reports. The announcement comes as Bhansali completes his current film, *Love and War*, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.

The coverage aligns that Bhansali is wrapping up *Love and War* before moving into the biopic production. Times of India adds that the production team will reuse or transform sets from *Love and War* for the new project. Beyond the shared timeline and casting, the outlets provide limited details on the biopic’s production schedule, release plans, or specific creative approach, focusing instead on the transition between the two films.
