Last week, BBC journalist Haroon Rashid tweeted that Ali was shooting for Khan’s film in London, but there had been no comment from her so far.
It’s rumoured that Sajal Ali is currently in London shooting for Jemima Goldsmith’s production, What’s Love Got To Do With It, directed by Shekhar Kapur. The film also stars Emma Thompson, Lily James and Shazad Latif. Sajal’s rep has been contacted for confirmation. Huge if true!
