After the tremendous success of ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’, Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat is eyeing another big project in Lollywood. Reportedly, she will be playing the role of a Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto in her biopic.

Hayat took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a local publication’s article, in which the writer suggested Hayat to play the slain Pakistan Peoples Party leader and former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto. The news of Hayat starring in a Bhutto biopic immediately went viral on social media.

@somethinghauteofficial made me smile this morning. Benazir is a true hero of mine, a real powerful woman and a inspiration for many millions around the world.
