Is Urvashi Rautela’s Claim Of Starring In Parveen Babi Biopic Untrue? Report Reveals Shocking Details
Before her Cannes 2023 appearance, actress Urvashi Rautela said that will be starring in Parveen Babi's biopic, however, a new report has now revealed some shocking details.
Urvashi Rautela recently made quite a few appearances at the recently-concluded Cannes Film Festival 2023. Before attending the mega event, Urvashi Rautela had revealed that she is going to Cannes 2023 for a photocall launch of her upcoming movie, which is purportedly a biopic on yesteryear actor Parveen Babi. As Urvashi Rautela made the appearance at Cannes 2023, many fans noticed that there was an absence of makers of the Parveen Babi biopic at the event.
Now, a latest report of Hindustan Times has revealed some shocking details, and many industry insiders have told the publication that there is no buzz yet about a biopic on Parveen Babi.
“It is very clear that she is lying, and it is bogus news. There is no such project being made. There are no conversations around any such project in the trade circuit too,” Hindustan Times quoted a source as saying.
“Also, a photocall launch without anyone from the makers side is just not possible. So, Urvashi was there all by herself, there was no producer, writer, director… So what is this photocall launch? It shows how much truth is in her claim. She has not even revealed the names of the makers. She could have said that she wants to do, or is thinking of doing, but alleging that it is being made without the name of the team is definitely not credible,” the source told Hindustan Times.
Hindustan Times quoted another source, who said that Urvashi Rautela's announcement was just an act to get attention.
“No artiste has the power to announcement a project just like that. And something like a biopic on Parveen Babi will only get announced once the production work has begun. And that too usually comes from the director or production house’s end. Urvashi’s claim is only to get some limelight,” an industry insider said.
Another source, who is touted to be super close to the project involving Parveen Babi biopic, said that Urvashi Rautela is not involved.
“The series is being made with an A-lister director on board, and Urvashi is not being considered for the lead role. She has nothing to do with it. When she made the announcement, we got several queries about the same, and we just shrugged off the claims. She has not mentioned any detail about the project, and a photocall can’t happen just with the lead star, which shows the merit associated with her claim,” the source was quoted as saying by HT.
When Urvashi Rautela was contacted by Hindustan Times to get clarity, she did not give any name and said that the project is at a very basic stage.
