Singer and actor Ali Zafar has been roped in for another ambitious project by Indian producers. The new film, for which cameras will roll in March 2013, is called Aman ki Asha, and not only will Ali Z be doing the lead role in the film but will also be composing music for it.

The lovely Yami Gautam is playing the part of his love interest in the film which is going to be directed by E. Niwas. It has to be mentioned here that Aman ki Asha is a remake of a Spanish comedy film and will be shot in London. Three cheers for cosmopolitanism.
