It was earlier reported that Vidya Balan had been offered to play slain Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in an upcoming 'biopic'. But if the latest buzz is to be believed, it is Raveena Tandon, and not Vidya, who will portray the charismatic Pakistani leader.

A source says, "A couple of days ago, Raveena had a meeting with the scriptwriter and he narrated the subject to her. She has read the script and liked it too. It is a powerful character and she is keen to take it up."

It is said that the actress is also interested to produce this ambitious project. The source adds, "The story is loosely based on Bhutto's life. Raveena has suggested some changes in the script and once they are accommodated, she will start looking for a director and finalise the rest of the cast as well." Raveena remained unavailable for comment.

Looking forward to it.
For some reason I had been thinking Aishwariya was going to do Benazirs Biopic. Maybe that never was finalized. :/

Ugh. Raveena tries too hard to act. Not a good choice.

The film cant work with Raveena playing the main character of Benazir it'd flop badly.

The operative word here being "loosely based" < erm ok, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the whole point of a biopic to depict that particular persons life on film? I'm not saying the story has to be word for word-or rather scene for scene accurate-but come on surely?

But yes growing rather tiresome of all these biopics. It seems to happen a lot- one thing becomes popular for example item numbers, and the next thing you know they're everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE! I guess biopics are the flavour of the month now. *rolls eyes*

Whoz interested in pakistani politics? One day raja, duje din band baja, Kismat achchi hot to zinda rahega nahi to aise mar jayega jaise kabhi tha hi nahi.
I still remember the scenes when they were cleaning the crime scene with water hoses, in stead of taking forensic evidence.

I always used to hear Sushmita Sen was supposed to play it. But if it's true Raveena is doing it then I wouldn't mind.
