There are rumors that Sajal Aly, a Pakistani actress best known for her part in the bollywood movie Mom, may star with prabhas in an upcoming romantic period drama helmed by Hanu Raghavapudi. This project, which has the working title Fauji, has created a lot of excitement on social media and is anticipated to be visually and emotionally compelling. 

With his most recent films, prabhas has been involved in controversy: Salaar was charged with using self-booking practices, Adipurush was criticized for depicting the Ramayana, and kalki 2898 AD is currently facing legal problems due to its representation of the figure Kalki. Considering these issues and the tense ties between india and Pakistan, it is possible that using a Pakistani actress will provoke more criticism. Such a casting decision can spark unwarranted criticism of the movie and demands for boycotts. 

Similar circumstances arose with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, which saw intense criticism and demonstrations following the hiring of Mahira Khan, a Pakistani actress. Even though Sajal Aly is a stunning and gifted actor, it might not be the best choice to cast her at this moment. To steer clear of any issues, the filmmakers may consider various measures. In addition to Sajal Aly, there are rumors that Iman Esmail, an international dancer, and model, is also vying for the female lead role. It has been stated that she has begun to follow both prabhas and director Hanu Raghavapudi on Instagram.
