Amrohi's son plans Meena Kumari biopic

Tajdar Amrohi has re-booted his father's banner Mahal Pictures under a new name, Kamal Amrohi Pictures, and has bought two properties in Bandra--one for a new office and one for a rehearsal studio. A biopic on his father's second wife Meena Kumari is in the pipeline. Pointing out why he was refused permission for a biopic so far, Tajdar explains, “My baba was not the villain in chhoti ammi's life. It's said that he deprived her of motherhood but the truth is that she had conceived twice and both times had aborted the baby. This is just one of the many things I will have to weave into the screenplay to bring out their real love story."READ: Forget bikini, never wore a sleeveless blouse says Waheeda RehmanHowever, his first production which rolls this monsoon will have a cast of fresh faces. “Rain plays a major role in the narrative. We need to shoot on the streets and in the busy pockets of Mumbai and with newcomers we won't invite unnecessary attention,“he reasons. A couple of songs have already been recorded with lyrics penned by Tajdar.WATCH: Meenakumari biography
