Speculations about a biopic on beauty baroness Shahnaz Husain have been floating around since long. Everyone is excited to know the name of the actress who would be cast to play the titular role in the biopic and bring alive the real-life story of this acclaimed entrepreneur.
According to reports, the original choice for the biopic was India's international star, Priyanka Chopra. Director Puja Bedi wanted to rope in the actress for the role but due to her busy schedule and prior commitments, PC could not accommodate her dates and lost out on such a brilliant project.
The latest we hear that former beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been taken onboard to play the lead role in the biopic. Both Bedi and writer Kamlesh Pandey are of the opinion that Aishwarya suits the role best.
Pandey says, "Aishwarya was always our first choice. We want the tehzeeb and adab of the character to reflect. The vocabulary certainly could not be that of the Facebook and Twitter generation. Aishwarya is perfect, keeping in mind all these prerequisites."
The writer has worked with the gorgeous actress in her comeback film Jazbaa. Praising the actress, he says, "She has immense potential in comparison to the opportunities that have come her way. Bollywood has been too preoccupied with Aishwarya Rai’s beauty to challenge the actor in her."
