Los Angeles June 10 (IANS) Actor Tom Hardy is reportedly being approached for the role of Jafar in the live-action remake of Aladdin.
The 39-year-old actor could be part of the project after the project s director Guy Ritchie reached out to him reports femalefirst.co.uk.
A source told The Sun newspaper: Guy is a huge fan of Tom s work and securing him would be a major coup. There have been conversations and although nothing is set in stone and things are subject to change he s certainly one of Guy s favoured choices.
Ritchie may secure the Mad Max star but he may be forced to come up with a back-up plan as Hardy s schedule might not allow it.
It just depends on schedules and whether he ll be able to sign up said another source.
Meanwhile Little Mix s Jade Thirlwall is in talks to play Princess Jasmine.
Aladdin will start in Britain.
