In a report, EORTV CEO Deepak Pandey announced that a biopic based on Pakistani actor Nawazish Ali's life is being made and supposedly Mallika Sherawat is to play the lead in the biopic. EORTV is a medium for educating the general public about the LGBT community. This platform presents queer narratives on TV with the intention of normalising queer identities inside the conventional culture.
"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", Deepak Pandey said to Abp Live.
"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," he added.
