KARACHI: One of the most popular leading actors of Pakistan, Shaan Shahid expressed his desire to play the real-life character of former president Parvez Musharaff in a biopic.
When asked during a popular television show here on Wednesday, about which character he would like to play if he gets a chance to do a biopic, Shaan replied that he would be elated to do a movie based on the former president Musharraf’s life.
Shaan elaborated that he even though he is not a supporter of Musharraf, he liked the opinions expressed in his book, In The Line of Fire.
