Sushmita Sen has been offered the role of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto by Pakistani producers Zaid Aziz and Henna Rai.

The film will be made in English and Urdu and will be shot in Pakistan and England.

Sushmita has been apparantly working hard on the film, reading up on the life of Benazir and working on her Urdu dictation.

Benazir was Prime Minister of the county twice, between 1988 and 1990 and again for the 1993-1996 period.

She was assassinated in December last year after leaving a rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, two weeks before the scheduled Pakistani general election of 2008 where she was a leading opposition candidate.
