Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai, June 10: After playing Hrithik Roshan's princess in 'Jodha Akbar' and sharing the same frame with husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan in 'Sarkar Raj', Aishwarya is all set take charge and fly solo again as she has been offered to play one of the most controversial and influential character that the world of politics has ever seen, i.e. Benazir Bhutto.

Married into the first family of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been often touted as the most influential celebrity wife. Coupled with this, Ash's awe-inspiring beauty makes this former Miss World a top contender for the most sought after role.

According to our sources, the project will be produced by UTV. Prominent 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.

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.
