Speculation that former Uzalo star Wiseman Mncube will star in a biopic based on kwaito star Mandoza's life has sparked debate about whether he would give a good portrayal.
Wiseman's involvement in the project was tipped by social media users who claimed the biopic is set to premiere on BET and be co-produced by his widow Mpho Tshabalala.
But Mpho told TshisaLIVE the claims were “wishful thinking”.
“It is just the speculations of social media. People want to see it [a project like the biopic] is all.”
The idea for a biopic got tongues wagging with fans sharing who they think should be on the list.
Blood Diamond star Mduduzi Mabaso was linked to the role and some have also suggested The River and Shaka iLembe star Thembinkosi Mthembu would be a good fit.
Wiseman has not publicly commented on the rumours.
