Pakistani actress Sajal Aly is indeed set to feature in a Bollywood film with Indian superstar Prabhas. Previously, there was speculation around Sajal's involvement in the project, which has now been confirmed by the Indian media.
A news outlet confirms that Sajal Aly is indeed is part of the film 'Fauji', headlined by South Indian superstar Prabhas. The film is slated to be directed by Hanu Raghavapudi.
Prabhas was recently seen in the global hit 'Kalki 2898 AD' and he's already got a big slate of releases and sequels lined up in the near future. It will be interesting to see how Prabhas and Sajal's chemistry plays out on screen in the much-awaited movie. Going by the title, Fauji should be an interesting story on India's armed forces.
Initially, there were rumours that Mrunal Thakur, known for her role in Sita Ramam, would be the female lead. However, recent reports confirm that Pakistani actress Sajal Aly would be the leading lady.
Hanu Raghavapudi, the director, has announced that the film would be a period action drama set in historical fiction. The narrative is described as a one-of-a-kind love romance set against the background of war, occurring before India's independence.
There are rumours that Prabhas might play a British soldier in the movie. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, will have a large budget. Pre-production is moving quickly, with Vishal Chandrasekhar writing the soundtrack. Three songs have already been recorded, and massive sets are being built across Hyderabad.
The project is scheduled to begin shooting in September, and an official announcement is expected shortly.
Sajal is one of Pakistan's highest-paid actresses, having made her Bollywood debut in 2017 with the film Mom, starring the late Sridevi. Fans are enthusiastic about the possible chemistry between the two stars, but formal confirmation is pending.
