"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.
Meena Kumari, best known for her work in films like Chhoti Bahu and Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, was an iconic star of the Indian cinema as well as a poet of great flair.
