Mumbai: The trend of biopics in Bollywood continues to grow, and a new project is in the works focusing on the life of the legendary actress Parveen Babi. Interestingly, the role of Parveen Babi, which was initially set to be played by Urvashi Rautela, is now expected to be portrayed by Triptii Dimri.
According to media reports, Triptii Dimri has replaced Urvashi Rautela in the biopic. This film will be based on Karishma Upadhyay’s book “Parveen Babi: A Life” and aims to raise awareness about mental health issues. According to Filmfare, work on this project is set to begin soon.
Although discussions are ongoing with Triptii Dimri, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The filmmakers are considering other actresses as well, but are more inclined towards casting Triptii due to her rising popularity and bit striking similarity between her Bollywood icon.
