Benazir Bhutto was assassinated just one week ago, but steps are already in motion to immortalize her forever in film.

According to HollywoodReporter.com, Pakistani writer Aqeel Ahmad Ruby is already writing the script, and the biopic will be helmed by Indian filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Skies Unlimited Films are in charge of the project, which is in pre-production. Producer Angela Kahn commented that the company will soon announce the film’s director.

The decision of who will play the lead role will have to wait, however, as the producers aren’t sure what they’re looking for. “It could be someone famous or a completely new face,” Khan said. “There are possibilities that some of the scenes would be shot in India, but we are not sure.”
