British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen will be seen in another interesting role in the new film titled “The Dictator.” After portraying Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, Cohen will play none other than the dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein.
Borat and Bruno film director Larry Charles will direct the “The Dictator” while Sacha Baron Cohen will co-produce and co-write the film.
