Rumours suggest that the Animal actress has been approached to play the lead role in the biopic of the 70s-80s diva.

Triptii Dimri, although gained immense fame for her role in Animal, has featured in powerful roles in films like Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, and Qala. We hear that the actress now plans to explore the intense female-centric genre more as reports suggest that she is keen to take on the role of 70s and 80s star Parveen Babi in the latter’s biopic. According to current reports, we hear that Dimri has already started her research, even before she has signed on the dotted line.

While the biopic is expected to be a Netflix series, directed by Shonali Bose, we hear that Triptii Dimri has even started with the basic preps of understanding the life story of the late yesteryear star. “She is deeply invested in understanding Parveen Babi’s journey, from her rise to superstardom to the personal struggles she faced. Even though she hasn’t signed the dotted line yet, her commitment to preparation speaks volumes,” revealed a source to India Today. It is being said that if all goes well, this will not only mark the actress’ return to intense women-oriented lead roles but it will also be her web-series debut.

Meanwhile, talking about Parveen Babi, she was one of the highest-paid actresses of the 1970s–80s and has appeared in 70 films. Known for her glamorous roles and sexy avatars, the actress became the first Bollywood star to appear on the cover of Time magazine. Best known for films like Kaala Sona, Amar Akbar Anthony, Suhaag, Kaala Patthar, Shaan, Kranti, Kaalia and Namak Halaal, the actress retired in 1991.

On the other hand, Triptii Dimri is one of the busiest actors in B-town currently. The actress has Dhadak 2 which was announced by Dharma Productions and it will explore her chemistry with Siddhant Chaturvedi for the first time. Meanwhile, several media reports have also created buzz about the actress sharing screen space with Shahid Kapoor in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next. Apart from that, Dimri was also expected to reunite with Kartik Aaryan for an untitled love story but certain reports have suggested that the makers are not keen on casting. However, director of  the film Anurag Basu insisted that the actress continues to be a part of the film.
