Amrita Pritam was a female poet who also wrote novels, notably Pinjar, the basis for the film of the same name starring Urmila Matondkar and Manoj Bajpai. In addition to the people mentioned in the article, Kareena Kapoor was approached at one point.
Amrita had a complicated love life, including marrying a hosiery merchant named Pritam Singh in 1935, leaving him in 1960 for the writer-painter Imroz, and somewhere in between having either an affair with or an unrequited love for noted Bollywood lyricist Sudhir Ludhianvi. The role of Sudhir has not yet been cast; given that Fawad is apparently playing Imroz (who in Bollywood terms would be Amrita's "happy ending", since she was with him for several decades until she died), it's possible that Sudhir may be the more prominent male character and they're trying to snag someone major-ish for the part.
