While one is eagerly waiting for the much-hyped TV show reliving the real and reel romance between Bollywood legends Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, Colors’ Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon seems to have sought attention for some wrong reasons.
Starring Drashti Dhami alongside Vivian Dsena, the promos of the show have already bagged in huge response from the fans. However, despite such a positive feedback, we have heard from sources that Madhubala is dealing with two major setbacks. Firstly, it has faced an objection from Madhubala's younger sister Zahida, who says that neither she nor anyone else from the late actresses' family was approached prior to the show’s making.
She is furious over the fact that the production house didn’t even bother to seek permission before taking the plans ahead. Sources say that she has sent a legal notice to the channel.
Now this objection might even sound a genuine affair but the other hurdle is simply unbelievable. As known, Madhubala was supposed to replace Veer Shivaji, which apparently called for the show’s abrupt ending. This has now enraged a political outfit Sambhaji Brigade, in Maharashtra. The organization is named after Sambhaji, son of Shivaji and the activists have threatened to disrupt the shooting of the serial and damage the sets if VS is shut down.
With all these dark clouds surrounding Madhubala, we just hope that the production house chalks out an easy escape!
