Madhubala biopic put on hold; Makers rework budget plans - Here's what we know
The much-anticipated biopic on legendary actress Madhubala has hit a temporary roadblock. Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, who earned acclaim with her 2022 film Darlings, the film's production has been put on hold due to budgetary constraints, even though the script is reportedly complete. High Budget Causes a Pause Initially envisioned as a lavish period drama, the film was set to portray the grandeur of Madhubala's life and era, with a projected budget of Rs 80 to Rs 100 crore. However, as per News 18 reports, the production team — comprising Sony Pictures International Productions, Brewing Thoughts Pvt. Ltd., and Madhubala Pictures — found that the high costs related to period detailing, elaborate sets, and costumes could make it difficult to recover the investment. Reportedly the recovery math didn't add up and the budget had to be re-evaluated. Searching for a Middle Ground Reportedly, the team is now working hard to redesign the financial plan without compromising on the essence of the story. 'The goal is to honour Madhubala's legacy while keeping the project financially viable. The budget is now being slashed to almost half,' said a source. As a result, casting discussions with top female actors — previously underway — have been temporarily paused until the revised plan is finalised. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Despite the financial pause, the spirit behind the project remains strong.

83-year-old retiree loses Rs 1.19 crore in fake IPO scam
An 83-year-old retired man from Dadar, Mumbai, has fallen prey to a sophisticated online stock investment scam, losing Rs 1.19 crore after being lured by fraudsters posing as financial advisors. The incident began on March 10, when the senior citizen clicked on a stock investment advertisement on social media. He was subsequently added to a WhatsApp group named G-5 ICICI Stock Exchange Group, which appeared to be managed by two individuals identified as Vinita Patodia and Ashwin Parekh. The group, with over 90 members, frequently posted messages boasting of high returns from stock trades. On April 2, Patodia privately messaged the victim, asking if he was interested in investing. After he agreed, she sent him a registration link. Soon after, a person named Pranay Warma contacted him and, referencing Patodia, persuaded him to invest Rs 7.5 lakh as an initial amount. Over the following weeks—between May 2 and May 23—the victim made multiple transfers to various bank accounts, believing he was investing in IPOs. The scammers sent fake documents and screenshots showing inflated virtual returns to gain his confidence. When he requested a payout, the fraudsters demanded a 10% commission on the supposed profits. His suspicion grew after his messages and calls began going unanswered. He then consulted a friend, who confirmed it was a scam. Live Events The victim filed a complaint via the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (1930), and the case has since been transferred to the Cyber Police (Central Division). An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act. Investigations are ongoing. Also Read: $2.4 trillion worth of gold!
