The starring role of Eliza Doolittle was originally played by screen legend Audrey Hepburn. Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle is to helm the picture and is rumoured to want 24-year-old Knightley for the iconic part, reports STV.
An insider said: "Keira and Scarlett are the only two real contenders and Keira's the favourite. She's the most natural Eliza people have seen.
"She has worked on her singing voice for a year and will get better and better."
Production on My Fair Lady is to begin late next year.
