Jennifer Hudson To Star In Mandela Biopic?

Jennifer Hudson is a busy gal with her music and film careers not to mention she’s a new mom!
But the Academy Award-winning actress is now in talks to portray the lead role in a biopic about South African leader Winnie Mandela.
Derek Luke or Idris Elba may be tapped to play husband Nelson Mandela, but nothing is confirmed as of right now.
Winnie Mandela is a controversial political figure who has long since been divorced from Nelson Mandela and eventually found her way into some legal troubles and on the receiving end of some sharp criticism from her native South Africa.
Sounds intense!
Could it be another Oscar for J-Hud?!
