Ranbir-Katrina To Star In Anurag Basu's Kishore-Madhubala Biopic ?
After Barfi!'s spectacular success, Ranbir has let it out that he will be playing the lead role in Anurag Basu's yet-to-be-named biopic on Kishore Kumar and Madhubala's love story. The success of Barfi! encouraged Ranbir and Anurag to finalize the movie on one of Bollywood's most famous love stories. Sources indicate that dad Rishi Kapoor was keen that Ranbir should do the movie. Grapevine suggests that Katrina Kaif has been chosen for Madhubala's role. Basu says Katrina may be seen either in his next movie Silence or the one after which will be the biopic. Katrina is said to be keen to opt out of Ranbir-Priyanka starrer Silence to ensure she gets to play Madhubala. Of course, the film is at a preliminary stage and the cast, plot and other details have not been finalized yet. Further, the project has been in the pipeline for quite some time now. Will we see a recreation of the iconic song 'Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si'? Will it work? Will fans accept Ranbir-Katrina or any other pair as modern day Kishore and Madhubala? The lead actors will have their task cut out considering Kishore and Madhubala are legends with millions of fans swearing by their legacy even today.

Katrina may be popular for her looks and dancing but the fact is she is the crappiest actress ever to make it so big in bollywood. She literally cannot act AT ALL. Good filmmakers need to stop considering her for roles
Pick Anushka not Katrina!
Why don't all the films go to Ranbir and Katrina because it seems Katrina's PR is all about her being the only heroine considered for all of ranbir's films. Pls let that happen so that we can rest with all the senseless Katrina PR
Pick Anushka Sharma not Katrina please! She doesn't look good with RK at all!
Asin is confirmed for basu's next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah kangna is absolutely fit for dis role she has iconic beauty she luks fresh and enticing....katrina is boring to watch nw we really dnt want to c her any more.plz get kangna indis movie....she is great to watch.......

comparing Ranbir with ranveer is like comparing Messi with bunty.
Ranbir is incomparable in terms of acting.
wow those saying kangna is a suitable substitution, like really :o after portraying the drunk girl in almost all the hit films she was part of she has nuthing to her credit.
ANURAG BASU, please DON'T turn from a film with great casting (Barfi) to the talentless ***** Katrina Kaif. Pleeeeease!
Directors need to stop casting her! She's ruining EVERY FILM SHE'S IN. PLEASE DEAR GOD!
I agree, get KANGANA RANAUT!
If Katrina is in it NOBODY watch this film!
Sushila says Madhubala's tie-up with Kishore Kumar was a marriage of convenience. It never worked. “Madhubala apparently wanted to show Dilip Kumar that she can marry anybody. Kishore Kumar was the antithesis of everything Dilip Kumar stood for. Kishore Kumar was going through bad times and wanted some financial security by marrying Madhubala. However, when he realised her medical condition, he lost interest in her.”
Sushila calls Madubala's story a reminder for all those girls and parents who are blinded by the glamour world. “It shows what it takes to be successful in this heartless world. When Filmfare magazine approached some big stars to write a self-portrait, only Madhubala refused. She said when she has lost herself how can she write about herself. She is only living a character from childhood.”
btw, isn't dilip kumar madhubala pair the most talked about... she only married kishore kumar as convenience... she didn't care a bit 4 him... she was already lost to the world by then...
and for kishore kumar, ranveer singh would be better casting... truth is, ranveer is naturally more effortlessly talented than ranbir but ranbir gets more opportunities and chances... and with time, he has greatly improved his skills... madhuri would have been the perfect madhubala... the smile and bright eyes... but now she's old and lost that charm... kareena cannot do justice to madhubala... kareena has her own style, she's great but she wouldn't be able to demonstrate the instability, indecisiveness and childlike innocence that madhubala had...
WORST casting ever! Katrina does not have a fraction of Madhubala's beauty, talent and spunk.
Unfortunately kareena is Ranbir's cousin. She would be the best for Madhubala.
I wish Amir and kareena for this movie.
Ranbir should leave this movie for the sake of Madhubala.
It will be great insult If any of this youngster played her role.
Only Vidya and kareena may be good.
OMG yayyyyy .. katrina and ranbir will rock this movie like they did previously.
This is one role that I would actually recommend Kareena Kapoor for.
If she put on 10 lbs, she would look similar to Madhubala. They have similar noses, lips and the same light skin.
this is very shocking...who in their right mind wud c madhubala in in katrina kaif!!!!!
this is beyond stupidity
nd a huge insult to one of the most iconic actresses bw has every seen.......just look at a pic of madhubala and her face is reflecting 100s of emotions with just 1 pic! katrina cnt even do that in a whole film!!!
this is seriously very shocking!
agree with people saying madhuri wud of been a gd choice but i think its about 10 yrs 2 late!
mayb they shud set up auditions around the country to find girl who has potential to do justice to this role!
as 4 ranbir i think hes fine for the role kishore was known for his funny films and huge onscreen witty personality
Should be Imran Khan instead of Ranbir
katrina as madhubala is biggest joke ever???? ab sirf katrina ko prime minister banana hi baki reh gaya hai...stupid indians
Please get Kangana!! She is can do this!!! Not kat...she has NO EXPRESSIONS!!!

Shush! Don't give them such ideas!!! *shudder*.
How about Madhuri? She always reminded me of Madhubala. She has a very expressive face full of charm and warmth. If there is a way to digitally make her look 15 years younger on film then the director should just pick her. Ranbir can always potray an older actor. he did do that advertisement where he was an old man .
no no nooooo!! madhubala defined the ''act'' in actress .. dont put katrina in the movie who doesnt even know how to act? this is really gonna spoil it! .. kareena, priyanka, vidya - YES! katrina .. no way!
WOW! now this is something i m excited to see. I think they both will look magical onscreen...as KK & Madhubala.
@filmychica Glad u agree!I seriously can't think of anyone who suits Madhubala's role.Tough casting Job,if he decides to make the film.

THANK GOD.

why not ash as madhubala with all makeup and stuff. she has the body type like madhubala...
If Madhubala was half-Afghan then they should be looking at Celina Jaitley for this role not Kat.
