The long waiting Meena Kumari biopic has finally been given a go-ahead. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Abundantia Entertainment, which produced Baby and Airlift will be bankrolling the film based on Vinod Mehta’s book Meena Kumari: The Classic Biography. While earlier there was talk of Kangana Ranaut doing the film, now, with a new producer on board the casting slate has been wiped clean.
