It was previously reported that Prabhas would be paired with the fresh-faced Imanvi in his upcoming film Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and described as an action-historical drama.
Now, there's an exciting new development: Pakistani actress Sajal Aly has also been cast in the film.
Sajal Aly, who was last seen in the 2017 Bollywood film Mom alongside the late Sridevi, is making her return to the Hindi film industry with Fauji.
According to a Filmfare report, a source close to the project has confirmed her involvement. There had been ongoing speculation about her role in the film for some time.
Known for her work in Pakistani films and TV dramas like Kuch Ankahi, Yakeen Ka Safar, Yeh Dil Mera, and O Rangreza, Sajal Aly also has a significant fan following in India due to her popular Pakistani dramas. Her pairing with Prabhas is sure to excite fans.
In Mom, Sajal Aly portrayed Sridevi's daughter, a victim of sexual violence, which set the stage for her mother’s quest for vengeance.
Alongside Sajal, Imanvi’s role in Fauji has also been generating buzz, especially since she appeared with Prabhas at the film's launch event.
Fauji is set in the 1940s and follows Prabhas as a soldier fighting for his homeland. The official synopsis describes the film as the journey of a warrior determined to address historical wrongs hidden by society.
With the addition of Sajal Aly and Imanvi to the cast, excitement for the movie has certainly increased among fans of the Rebel star.
