Triptii Dimri to play Parveen Babi in biopic: Report

Actor Triptii Dimri has reportedly been finalised to play the lead role in the biopic of late Bollywood icon Parveen Babi, known for her performances in films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Suhaag, Kaala Patthar, Shaan, Kranti, Kaalia, and Namak Halaal. The biographical series will stream on Netflix.

According to a Filmfare report, "Triptii's dates have been locked. Director



Shonali Bose and her team are working fast to start the shoot on this ambitious project."

Parveen Babi rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s and earned the tag of Bollywood’s "sex symbol." However, she remained active in the film industry for only 13 years, starring in 50 films, out of which 10 were blockbusters. After a long battle with schizophrenia, she passed away in 2005.
