Reports are that the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been offered to play the role of former Pakistani Prime Minister late Benazir Bhutto.
It is said that a biopic on the assassinated leader Benazir Bhutto will be made pretty soon by UTV and it is planning to induct Ash to play the leader.
Reports add that lyricist Neelesh Misra of Johnny Gaddaar and Jannat fame has been approached to pen down the script.
Speaking to reporters, Misra maintained that though he had been offered the project he is yet to give his final nod. Reports also confirmed that the producers are holding talks with the Bhutto’s family and the Pakistan government for their consent.
A spokesperson from UTV said that it will divulge all information only after everything is finalized.
If things go as planned Ash will once again prove that there is much more to her onscreen presence and her acting skills than just her overpowering good looks.
Earlier, Tariq Ali was to make a film on the slain politician. However, the project, which had Shabana Azmi in the lead role, was shelved.
