This should be no less than an honour for the young woman who gave a couple of mega hit films in 2014 and is now one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood. Yes, the reference is to the beautiful and socially-aloof Kangana Ranaut.

News is that Kangana R is being implored by a big producer to play the role of none other than the legendary diva of yesteryear Meena Kumari. Apparently, the young actress is excited to get the offer but till last reports came in hadn’t said ‘yes’. If she does nod in the affirmative, it will be one heck of a project to wait for.
