The search for the perfect face to bring the magic of the legendary Madhubala to the big screen has seen several updates recently. While many names have been linked to the project over the months, the latest reports suggest a new front-runner. Sharvari is now being considered for the lead role in the biopic of the iconic actress.

According to a report by News18, “Sharvari is now said to be among the top choices being considered for the role.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation about the casting. It remains unclear whether formal discussions have begun or if she has officially signed on for the project.

The Madhubala biopic has remained one of the most talked-about upcoming films in Bollywood. Before Sharvari’s name surfaced, several other talents were reportedly approached for the role. Media reports have previously linked names like Sara Arjun, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Sai Pallavi, and Aneet Padda to the project. Recently, Aneet Padda was also noted as a strong contender.

Acclaimed director Jasmeet K. Reen, who earned praise for the Netflix film Darlings, is set to direct the biopic. Fans and industry insiders are eagerly waiting for the makers to reveal more details about the final cast.

Sharvari has a busy schedule ahead with several major releases. She will be seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga, which is scheduled to hit theatres on June 12.After, she will star in the YRF film, Alpha alongside Alia Bhatt and Bobby Deol which releases on July 10.

Sharvari is also working on Munjya 2 and an untitled project with Ayushmann Khurrana. This project, which also stars Anupam Kher, Seema Pahwa, and Supriya Pathak, recently began filming in Mumbai. Sharvari was last seen on the big screen in the 2024 film Vedaa, where she starred alongside John Abraham.

Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday, who became overnight sensations after Saiyaara, were clicked stepping out of a restaurant in Bandra late at night, sparking curiosity among fans. Their outing comes at a time when there’s already buzz around their next collaboration, making the sighting feel more than just a casual meet.

The duo is all set to reunite with their Saiyaara director Mohit Suri for another intense love story backed by Yash Raj Films. Their previous film struck a strong chord with audiences, telling the emotional journey of a rising musician and a lyricist dealing with early onset Alzheimer’s. The film turned out to be a massive success, crossing Rs 338 crore in India and going beyond Rs 500 crore worldwide.

Filmfare was the first to inform readers that Ram Charan’s upcoming film Peddi was likely to be pushed to a later date. On Wednesday evening, the makers of the rustic drama officially moved its theatrical release to June. However, they have not yet locked in an exact release date. The decision confirms a postponement from its original April 30 release. Fans are now closely watching the calendar as the Tollywood summer movie season continues to shift.

Peddi filmmakers remain circumspect

A major reason for the delay appears to be the search for a strategic release window. The producers seem to be waiting for clarity on another upcoming film, Toxic. The Yash-starrer is currently slated for June 4, and the makers of Peddi are keen to avoid a major box office clash. They are hoping that an early June slot might open up if Toxic alters its schedule. Moreover, after Mana Shankara Vara Prasad, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, released in January, Tollywood has not seen a major blockbuster. Fans are therefore hoping that Summer 2026 ends on a high note, with both Peddi and Toxic delivering strong entertainment.

Special song yet to be shot

The final piece of the puzzle is a highly anticipated special song in Peddi, which remains the only portion of the Buchi Babu Sana directorial left to be shot. In South Indian cinema, such songs often serve as major marketing draws. The casting process for this number has been long and secretive, with several actresses linked to the project. Mrunal Thakur recently declined to comment on her involvement, suggesting that the team may still be searching for the perfect fit. The combination of casting delays and complex post-production work has made the April release unfeasible. By moving to June, the team gains additional time to finalize the song and refine the visual effects. They are betting that a polished product will perform better than a rushed one. For now, the wait continues.
