Photo: Dangal's Geeta, Fatima Sana Shaikh to romance Aamir Khan in Thugs of Hindostan?

Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan has been in news for quite some time now

The finalising of the female lead in Aamir Khan’s Thugs Of Hindostan has been a knackering process. Names of various actresses have been doing rounds of media and another name just got added to it. Aamir’s on-screen daughter in Dangal played by Fatima Sana Sheikh is rumoured to be auditioning for the role. A picture of Fatima Sana Sheikh is doing rounds of media and it has made way for rumours that she is being considered for the role.

Fatima played the role of Geeta Phogat in the blockbuster Dangal and impressed viewers and critics alike. But the new photo that has been leaked features Sana in a completely different avatar. She can be seen as a warrior.

A trade insider told a leading daily that if Sana is finalised for the role, it would be a shock. He said, “Fatima’s look test picture comes as a shock on several accounts. First, Fatima, who played Aamir’s daughter in their last film, is auditioning for the female lead opposite him. Second, Aamir is known to never repeat his heroines. In this case too, technically, he won’t be doing it even if Fatima makes the cut as he was paired opposite Sakshi Tanwar in Dangal.

Thugs of Hindostan is the first silver screen outing of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. It is directed by Vijay Krishnan Acharya who helmed Dhoom 3. The movie is loosely based on Confessions of a Thug by Philip Meadows Taylor. Aamir Khan had earlier taken to social media to write how thrilled he was for the film. He had written:

Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for has come… to work with my icon, Mr. Bachchan! Thanks Adi, Victor, for ‘Thugs of Hindostan’. I’m too thrilled to be working with the actor I have admired all of my life. Shoot starts early next year, and the release has been locked for Diwali 2018. Can’t wait to get started! Fingers crossed.
