According to the Daily Mail, the movie is called Lord Owen's Lady and will be filmed in India, England and Wales. Henson is allegedly in the running to play a Welsh nobleman who falls in love with an Indian girl.
His agent Matthew Ginvert said: "Gavin was approached about Lord Owen's Lady last year and has held a meeting with producers but we haven't heard back from them since then. At this stage he hasn't signed anything."
Ali, who was handpicked from Mumbai's slums to play a lead role in Slumdog Millionaire, said that she was looking forward to meeting Henson. "I have heard he is a huge star and he is very handsome," she said. "So I am really excited to meet him and work with him."
The former child star recently moved into a new £50,000 Mumbai apartment with her family and is now preparing for her trip to the UK. She said: "I'm so excited because I think this is going to be my best year."
Henson hired an acting coach in 2010 shortly after his split from singer Charlotte Church.
