"Yes, I have been offered a film on Meena Kumari and I hope things work out," Kangana said, but because of her tight schedule the actress will not be able to start with the film any time this year.

"Before that I would be doing Sujoy Ghosh and Hansal Mehta's films, so I won't be able to start with Meena Kumari's biopic before mid-2016. But that's happening," she added.
