Jennifer Hudson is slated to star in a new biopic with Terrence Howard in what she is calling an unbiased perspective of former South African leader Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

Slickback Ivanhoe fumbling on a new accent isn’t the problem that Madikizela-Mandela is having with the project, its the way she will be potentially portrayed that makes her get all sick and filthy with the idea.

Deadline.com reports: Lawyers for Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife are trying to get script approval over a new biopic that stars Jennifer Hudson as his wife Winnie. Producer Andre Pieterse maintains shooting will start in South Africa on May 31 for 10 weeks. Madikizela-Mandela is unhappy about the way she’s portrayed in the film, which follows her from the age of 19 up until 64.

Speaking in Cannes, Hudson, 28, insisted the movie would let movie-goers make up their own minds about the controversial figure.

“I feel like it’s not biased at all, one way or the other,” she said.

“It puts it out there for you to decide on your own, but it does put it out there, and I think that’s the important thing.”
