Ali starred in the film ''[[Noblemen (film)|Noblemen]]'' for which he won ‘Best Child Actor’ award at the [[New York Indian Film Festival]]. <ref name="award"/> The film, featuring Kunal Kapoor was directed by Vandana Kataria and produced by Saregama and Yoodlee Films, deals with boarding school and bullying issues.

In 2019, he had a pivotal role in ''[[Super 30 (film)|Super 30]]'' starring [[Hrithik Roshan]].

Finally, in 2020, amidst the pandemic, Ali Haji rose like a true underdog as he wrote and filmed his first feature film titled [[#JusticeforGoodContent]]. It is currently in post-production. The story is a satire on the Indian film industry’s long standing insider-outsider debate with the protagonist named Good Content. It maps the journey of a young filmmaker through the rigamarole of various processes, like producers, casting directors and talent agents to mount a film. The film, by design, has an ensemble cast filled with stellar names from the supporting actor prototype such as [[Suresh Menon]], [[Anu Menon]], [[Vijay Patkar]], [[Rajkumar Kanojia]], [[Max Fernandes]], [[Jaimini Pathak]], [[Delnaaz Irani]], [[Raj Zutshi]], Pradeep Kabra, Kritika Avasthi, [[Dilnaz Irani]], Krishna Bisht, Rati Shankar Tripathi, [[Rajendra Chawla]], [[Prabhjyot Singh]], [[Vanita Kharat]] and many many more. The film is slated for a digital release this year.
