Bakhtawar Bhutto to take action against Benazir biopic starring Mehwish Hayat

Recently, actress Mehwish Hayat hinted about being roped in for a biopic on Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto. Soon after the news broke, Benazir’s elder daughter Bakhtawar Bhutto took to Twitter to condemn the idea.

“Certainly no consent from her [Benazir’s] living heirs/children was sought. Absolutely unacceptable and we will be taking action against it,” tweeted Bakhtawar on Friday evening.
