There are increasing signs that Bollywood actress Kiara Advani may soon attempt to play one of the most important roles in the Indian film industry. There are rumors afloat that she will possibly be given a shot for Meena Kumari’s role in Siddharth P. Malhotra’s biopic Kamal Aur Meena, which is to be made this year.
What’s Fueling the Speculation?
It began when followers on Twitter and Instagram saw Kiara Advani engaged with the film’s initial teaser. A fan in the Reddit thread noticed that Kiara appreciated the teaser, and Siddharth P. Malhotra, the film’s director, not only wanted to associate with her directly by following her on Instagram but also interacted with her posts using the platform. It has then created scandals whereby she might be substituting for the legendary actress Meena Kumari.
While there has been no casting announcement from either party, the indications are enough to get Bollywood buzzing. One user wrote on Reddit pointing out, “Kiara is the only actress who has liked the teaser.” She said social media activity between her and Malhotra has created rumors, and fans are waiting to see if this will become official.
Kamal Aur Meena: An Epic Love Story
Though Kamal Aur Meena is yet to be released in the theatres, it is already one of the most buzzed-about films of 2026. One of the most subtle masters of Bollywood, Siddharth P. Malhotra, has shown massive joy regarding the new project. The movie is reposed to portray the true and tragic love story of the two legends of the Indian movie industry – Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi.
According to the director, the movie will explore the background of the couple, which can be traced from more than 500 letters the man wrote to her along with diaries.
What’s Next for Kiara?
As fans eagerly await the official word on Kamal Aur Meena, the versatile Kiara Advani is lined up for a War sequel with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, proving how far she has come in Bollywood’s pecking order.
If, at all, Kiara does take up the challenge and portray the character of Meena Kumari, it could be her breakthrough film. Viewers are expecting and are longing for more, especially the fans. Is this Kiara’s biggest character evolution yet? Only time will tell!
