You may know Harry Styles as the smokey-voiced frontman of One Direction, but he may soon be playing the iconic lead singer of another famous British band. Styles is rumored to be playing Mick Jagger in a working biopic about The Rolling Stones, according to The Line of Best Fit.

The film, helmed by Downton Abbey director Andy Goddard, said to be titled Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones, is based off a book of the same name by Robert Greenfield. The written story follows the band as they recorded Exile on Main Street, the album that followed their 1971 record, Sticky Fingers. The screenplay for the film was written by Brandon & Philip Murphy and a "winter start date" is planned for the production, Deadline reports.

Though the lead singer of a boy band, Styles is not a complete stranger to the film world. He's set to star alongside Tom Hardy in Dunkirk, a Christopher Nolan-directed World War II action drama set to premiere in 2017.

As for Main Street, there's no word yet on the rest of the cast or the movie's potential release date, but if the news about Styles' casting is true, it'll be a flick to look forward to. He's previously been compared to Jagger after all, considering their similar shaggy brunette locks and rockstar fame.
