Benazir Bhutto is the only female to serve as the prime minister of Pakistan. Also, she is the first woman to head a democratic government in a Muslim majority country. Her life is an inspiration for women all over the world. Recently, news came out that Benazir Bhutto biopic is in the making.
Mehwish Hayat hinted that she was to star in Benazir Bhutto biopic.
Yesterday was the 65th birthday of Benazir Bhutto. Mehwish Hayat posted a picture of herself reading a book about Benazir on her Instagram account. She hinted on playing the lead in a Benazir Bhutto biopic. However, she did not make any confirmations.
As always, Twitterati had a lot to say about the news of Mehwish Hayat playing the lead in Benazir Bhutto biopic.
This person is NOT a Mehwish Hayat fan.
Mehwish Hayat cant even play a broomstick

People do not think she is the right choice.

Meanwhile, some people are more interested in who’s going to play Zardari.
It ll be quite interesting to see who will play Asif Zardari, and how his character would be …

However, this guy had a person in mind for Zardari’s role.
Also, this could be Amir Liaquat's big break because he's probably the only one looks manhoos enough to play Zardari

People gave different suggestions for the main lead.
It should be sania saeed

Shabana azmi should have been there— Ali Zain (@alizainmalik12) June 22, 2018
While this discussion was going on, Benazir’s daughter Bakhtawar was not pleased about this biopic.
Bakhtawar Zardari posted a tweet and expressed her displeasure about the news of Benazir Bhutto biopic.
Certainly no consent from her living heirs/children was sought. Absolutely unacceptable and we will be taking action against it. https://t.co/onq9F4xgYT

To which, Mehwish Hayat replied with this tweet.
To clarify rumours circulating.There is a project at the very early stages of development about your amazing mother. This cannot and will not be done without the consent or blessing of the family.I am sure that the team involved will be in touch before they progress further..1/2

2/2 … Meanwhile, as an actress I am researching as much as I can about a real idol of mine. Irrespective of any film I would love to meet someday and learn more about her .

Although Mehwish Hayat is a very talented actress, we have a person in mind to play Benazir Bhutto.
She may have given us hit films like Jawani Phir nahe aani, Actor in Law, Punjab nahe jaunge, we do not think she is the right choice for this role. According to us, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh can do full justice with this role. She acted in the famous drama of the 90s, Des Pardes. Although she has left acting and is a Scottish politician, we think she is a perfect choice. She has a bit of a resemblance with Benazir Bhutto and can speak Urdu with an accent.
Also, we hope that the biopic shows us Benazir as the daughter, wife and mother instead of the politician. Lastly, we hope that whoever is going to play the lead, can do justice to the role. Hopefully, the film would not be a disaster.
