Pakeezah<\/em><\/strong> is one of the most popular projects which took 14 years of dedication. It was considered one of the most expensive films to have been made in the 70s. The project was made on a budget of between INR12.5 million (US$160,000) to INR15 million (US$190,000) and was released on 4 February 1972.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it was the highest-grossing Indian film of the year, collecting INR60 million (US$750,000) after a theatrical run of over 50 weeks. Trade analysts said its popularity might have been caused by Kumari’s death a month after its release.<\/p>\n

\n

It has now been confirmed that Mahira Khan is not playing the role.<\/p>\n
