Sushmita Sen to play as Benazir Bhutto in a Pakistani film
According to reports, former Miss Universe and Miss India Sushmita sen, is set to play the role of slain Pakistan leader and the country’s former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutt in a movie to be produced by Pakistani movie makers. The shooting of the movie will start once they get clearance from the Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Peoples Party.
She is said to be reading books and articles on Benazir, in addition to watching the footages and interviews. Filmstars from both India and Pakistan have crossed the border for star nights and cultural exchange programmes in the past. But in the wake of uneasiness prevailing between both countries, it is going to be really a tough ask for the movie makers to cast Sen in the movie for they have to get clearance from the Govt., the party and hardliners of Pakistan.
For Sushmita too, it is not going to be easy to sign up. Indian Government has never interfered in the fundamental rights of people and may not bar her from acting in a Pakistani movie, but in all chances, she could face the wrath of Shiv Sena, MNS, RSS, Bajrang Dal and other outfits
