Sajal Aly set to star opposite Prabhas in upcoming film Fauji: reports

Pakistani actress Sajal Aly is set to star alongside Indian superstar Prabhas in the upcoming period drama Fauji, Filmfare reported on Tuesday.

The film, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is scheduled to begin shooting on August 24 in Hyderabad, according to Indian media.

Although an official announcement for the Pakistani star is yet to be made, sources close to the project have confirmed Sajal's participation in the Bollywood movie.

Other actresses, such as Mrunal Thakur, have also been linked to the project, but the Sinf-e-Aahan star's involvement has been speculated for some time.

Fauji is set in the pre-independence era and will be an action-packed drama, according to Pinkvilla.

Sajal made her Bollywood debut in 2017 in the hit film Mom, in which legendary actress Sridevi played the lead role.

However, neither Sajal nor the makers of Fauji have confirmed or denied the news.

Earlier, Indian media reported that Fawad Khan would star alongside Vaani Kapoor in a new Bollywood film, with shooting set to begin in London soon.
