My oh my, that Pakistani super heroine (and super animated) Burka Avenger has assumed global popularity. Perhaps it had to because of the uniqueness and relevance of the concept. The latest in that regard is that the makers of Burka Avenger have been receiving calls from Bollywood to seek their permission to turn the animated series into a full-fledged film. Interestingly, and if the Indian media is to be believed, the people behind the super heroine tale are weighing their options. Even the names of Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif as the main voice-lender to the project are being pondered over.

Hmm … keep them veiled for now.
