Ever since he sensationally quit One Direction last month, rumours have been circulating about Zayn Malik's next move.
As well as releasing a solo album (producer Naughty Boy leaked a song from it earlier this month), it appears the 22-year-old might also be pursuing a film career.
The rumours about a potential move to Hollywood come as Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha shared a picture of the two together at the musical version of her 2002 hit, prompting many to speculate that they are discussing future film projects.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the director explained: "We've met and spoken. He trained as an actor first, then became part of the band. So I think what he'll be doing is staying true to his heart – and that's all you can ever do. I don't have a part in mind for Zayn just yet but hopefully in the future."
