Slumdog star Rubina Ali to star in British rom-com

Child actor Rubina Ali, who played the young Latika in Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, is set to star in a small budget British film about a young Welsh nobleman who falls for an Indian girl, according to reports. The rom-com, which also stars Hollywood veteran Anthony Hopkins, will be shot in India, England and Wales later this year. The film will also mark former rugbyplayer Gavin Hensons acting debut, reported The Daily Mail. Rubina, who was picked from Mumbai slums by filmmaker Danny Boyle, is reportedly in line for a 21,000 pounds payday. She admitted she was looking forward to see Henson. "I have heard he is a huge star and he is very handsome, so I am really excited to meet him and work with him," she said. The movie also stars Rubinas Slumdog co-star Azharuddin Ismail.
