Ex-Bigg Boss Star And Pak Queer TV Anchor Begum Nawazish Ali's Biopic Announced; THIS Bollywood Actress To Star As The Lead-DETAILS BELOW!
A new biopic is on the cards, and Bollywood buffs are all set to witness yet another stirring story of a dynamic personality. A new biopic based on Pakistani queer television personality Ali Saleem was announced and she has broke into the mainstream audiences through his impersonations of late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Ali is a Pakistani TV host, actor, scriptwriter, and impressionist who went on to play the cross-dressing Begum Nawazish Ali on various television channels.

Ali was biologically born as a male to a retired colonel father in Pakistan Army and his sometimes called himself gay, bisexual, or at other times even a transsexual. He was also a part of ‘Bigg Boss 4’ which screened back in 2010.

Deepak Pandey, CEO of EORTV, who has announced a biopic, has expressed his desire to cast Mallika Sherawat for the part.

A ZeeNews report quoted him saying, "This is a strong story, a story of boldness and courage. The character is multifaceted and needed someone as courageous and undaunted as the Begum thyself. I am planning to approach Mallika Sherawat for this role as she would be apt for a fearless performance like this. It is important to create stories like these that can encourage more and more people to be open about their sexuality and sexual preferences. This is going to be a story of an unapologetically fearless man who's leading a life of his own choice in spite of living in a politically warm environment".

He further mentioned, "Begum Nawazish Ali's background and childhood is interesting but the journey he makes in due course of his life is even more interesting. He has interviewed the who's who from business, politics, entertainment with gusto. He has courted satire and controversy but managed to make a place in the hearts of the common man. His life will make for very compelling content on screen".

EORTV works to build awareness among society towards the Queer community and educate people about them. The platform showcases queer stories on screen with an aim to normalise them within mainstream society.
