Sara Ali Khan signs her third flick

After the rip-roaring success of her second outing Simmba (2018), which has racked up over ₹ 240 crores domestically and is still running successfully in many theatres, everyone wants to know what Sara Ali Khan is doing next.

Recently, newspapers and entertainment portals were flooded with reports that she had agreed to star in filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next Love Aaj Kal 2. However, the latest update on the project is that she has walked out of it due to her concerns over the script.


Now, we hear that the newcomer has given her nod to star in filmmaker Kannan Iyer’s next directorial venture. Iyer is known for his 2014 supernatural thriller Ek Thi Daayan, starring Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan, Konkona Sen Sharma and Huma Qureshi in lead roles.

According to a source, the filmmaker is presently developing a biopic. Though nothing much is out regarding the film and also the person on whom it is based, the source reveals it will have the backing from Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

If all goes well, the project will roll in August.
