Triptii Dimri to play the lead in Parveen Babi's biopic? - REPORT

With a new project in development that aims to bring the life of legendary actress Parveen Babi to the big screen, emerging reports suggest that Triptii Dimri is expected to step into the role of Parveen Babi, a casting choice that has generated significant excitement. Originally, the role was set to be played by Urvashi Rautela, but it appears that Dimri has now taken over, offering a fresh take on the iconic star’s life.

Based on Karishma Upadhyay’s book Parveen Babi: A Life, the film seeks to delve deep into the life of Parveen Babi, not only highlighting her cinematic achievements but also addressing the mental health challenges she faced. Babi was one of the most celebrated actresses of her time, with memorable performances in films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Deewaar, The Burning Train, Kalia, and Namak Halaal. However, despite her success, she struggled with paranoid schizophrenia, a condition that led her to withdraw from the limelight. Babi spent her final years in isolation, and her untimely death in 2005 left the industry and her fans in shock.

The biopic aims to shed light on Babi’s extraordinary life, both her on-screen brilliance and her off-screen battles. While discussions with Triptii Dimri are reportedly still ongoing, her potential casting is already creating buzz due to her rising popularity and a striking resemblance to the late actress. Dimri, known for her compelling performances, seems poised to take on what could be one of the most challenging roles of her career.

Production details, including the director and other cast members, remain under wraps, but the project is already one of the most anticipated films in Bollywood. As the film progresses, it promises to offer a new perspective on Parveen Babi’s life, highlighting her contributions to Indian cinema while also raising awareness about mental health.

In addition to the biopic, Dimri’s career is on an upward trajectory. She has a packed schedule with upcoming films like Animal Park alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Kartik Aaryan, and Dhadak 2 with Siddhant Chaturvedi. Her last release, Bad Newz, received positive reviews, further establishing her as one of Bollywood’s most promising talents.
