Aishwarya Rai to play Benazir Bhutto

[Tiki Tam Tam]

Aiswariya Rai is an idiot.

Too dumb to play Benazir.

 

[Awesome]

She's a big favorite of Pakistanis.

Maybe the decision is wise since she'd be acceptable to all the "Jialay" of PPP.

Lol of course if there's ANY disrespect shown to her (i.e. making out, provocative dressing) PPP will goto war with India . They are nuts about her, I kid you not.

Notice how all the PPP women activists are talking and dressing like Benazir.

Of course common decency dictates that if her family does not want such a movie made right now then it shouldn't be done.

Plus if they are going to accuse someone of her assasination, then we still don't know anyone for sure.

aishwarya rai's acting has improved in the recent years, but she is not good enough to play a character like benazir. i think tabu would be the best choice.

but the reason aishwarya was nominated was probably coz of her popularity, rather than her acting prowess.

@stealth: aishwarya was miss world, not miss universe. susmita zen was miss universe when aiswarya became miss world

 

[cactuslily58]

ohh god.. what has the world gone up to!
so will aishwarya play the real face role of benazir "corrupt and puppet show for the west" or portray her image as a female "Gandi"?

Benazir would have felt flattered if she were alive ..

Jokes apart.. don't see the need for us to take this personally ( someone felt slapped in the face about it..), its simply the directors call. It is after all a commercial venture.

Ash and BB, whats the connection between the two? I mean usualy they take an actor who might resemble even in the slightest of manner, for example the movie made on Quaid-e-Azam there was this hollywood guy who resembled him. Aishwariya a bad choice in my opinion for the role.

Guys no need to take it too seriously.

As someone said, it is a commercial Bollywood movie. If Bhatts are the producers, I can almost sense the crap it would be.

 

[araz]

i can already see "Bneazir" dancing somewhere in Holland a la Bollywood. Take a gander(or a goose !!!) at who will play Asif Zardari . How will he be protrayed--- As A hero or Number Zero

 

[x_man]

...who will play Asif Zardari . How will he be protrayed--- As A hero or Number Zero

Well, if Ash is playing Benazir, then I am sure Zardari would love to play as himself .....call it perks of the job.....

Rawalpindi gets a Benazir touch


By Our Staff Reporter

ISLAMABAD, June 20: The garrison city of Rawalpindi on Friday got a Benazir Bhutto touch as the federal government renamed the city’s airport, the main road running through the city and a hospital, after her. A monument at the site of her assassination was also being planned.

“Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has announced this as a mark of respect and reverence for the martyred leader and in recognition of her unparalleled services for the nation and the cause of democracy,” an announcement by the PM House said on Friday.

The PPP is celebrating Ms Bhutto’s 55th birth anniversary on Saturday, which is the first after her assassination.

Islamabad International Airport, the country’s third largest, has been renamed as Benazir Bhutto International Airport.

However, it came as a surprise for many that the government, instead of naming the under-construction airport after the late leader, preferred to rename the existing one.

Operations would be shifting from the existing airport to the new airport once it was completed in 2010-11. The new airport would be the country’s largest and most modern airport.

The new airport is yet to be officially given a name.

The Rawalpindi General Hospital, where Ms Bhutto died on Dec 27, was also renamed as Benazir Bhutto Hospital. The 600-bed hospital, on Murree Road, was constructed as a federal government hospital in the 1960s when the federal capital shifted here from Karachi. It was subsequently handed over to the Punjab government in 1980.

Due to paucity of resources the city’s overburdened teaching hospital is presently a shambles. The federal government also announced a grant of Rs50 million for the upgradation of the hospital.

Murree Road, officially known as N-15, which runs through a better part of Rawalpindi and connects it to Murree hill resort, has also got a new name – Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Road.

The part of the road in Rawalpindi city has been a hot spot for various political and social events.
