Among them UTV the production company is in the forefront with the idea of having Iswarya Rai as Benazir Bhutto. UTV has also approached , the leading lyricist Nilesh Misra for screenplay and Nilesh Misra has confirmed it. UTV has also approached the Pakistani government seeking permission to produce the movie. So far the government has not given the requisite permission.As and when the permission to produce the movie is obtained , the production work will be expdedited. Similarly Mr. Mahesh Bthutt another leading Bollywood director has also proposed to produce the movie about Benazir. However, the PPP leader Asif Ali Zaedari has rejected the request of Mahesh Bhatt on political grounds. Some close sources of PPP has also said that PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari himself is interested in producing the movie with Shabna Asmi as Benazir Bhutto.
