A Meena Kumari biopic titled “Kamal Aur Meena,” directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, draws renewed attention as multiple outlets report casting discussions. Saif Ali Khan and Triptii Dimri are described as potential choices to play Kamal Amrohi and Meena Kumari, respectively, in a Netflix original produced by Bilal Amrohi.
However, Malhotra publicly asks audiences and media to avoid treating unconfirmed reports as official. In responses carried by outlets, he says the team is working on the project and will announce cast, studio and related details only after signing and finalizing. Other earlier reporting has also suggested names such as Kiara Advani being considered.
Across coverage, the project is consistently described as focusing on the relationship between Meena Kumari and filmmaker Kamal Amrohi and incorporating material such as love letters and diary entries. While some sources frame the reported casting as “advanced talks,” the director’s comments stress that no lineup is locked yet and that speculation should pause until official confirmation.
