A source said: "Idris really sees a star quality in Tulisa and believes she can make it in Hollywood. He is going to see Tulisa and ask her to star in his new film which is about a London-based sports agency.
"Charlize will play an American sportswoman who will go head to head with Tulisa in lots of scenes and ensure that Tulisa gets noticed by Hollywood."
