By Prabhas’ ‘Fauji’: Speculations Surrounding Pakistani Actress Sajal Aly’s Role
Prabhas is preparing for his upcoming film, tentatively titled ‘Fauji’, following the success of his pan-India blockbuster ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, this highly anticipated movie is in the spotlight due to significant updates in its cast.
While Prabhas is set to play the male lead, speculation surrounds the female protagonist’s role. Initially, rumors hinted at Mrunal Thakur’s potential involvement. However, recent reports suggest that Pakistani actress Sajal Aly might be selected for the part. Although there hasn’t been an official confirmation yet, this news has sparked considerable excitement among fans.
‘Fauji’ is anticipated to be an expansive period action saga with a distinctive romantic narrative at its core. There are speculations that Prabhas might portray a British soldier, fitting the film’s historical setting and the choice to consider an actress like Sajal Aly with a pan-Asian background.
The film’s production is set to kick off in September with a generous budget allocated for its grand scale. Pre-production activities are already in full swing, including the construction of elaborate sets in Hyderabad and the composition of the musical score by Vishal Chandrashekhar. Currently, three songs have been recorded, adding to the film’s mounting excitement.
Sajal Aly marked her debut in Indian cinema with Sridevi’s ‘Mom’ in 2018. Despite not actively pursuing projects in India since then, she retains a devoted fan base and considerable international allure.
