REVEALED! The reason why Fatima Sana Shaikh is a part of ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’

Names by the likes of Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor popped up as speculations for the leading lady of Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Thigs Of Hindostan'. Touted to be one of the biggest upcoming films, 'Thugs Of Hindostan' will see Aamir and Big B share the screen space for the first time ever.

Recently, there were reports that suggested the film was delayed as the makers couldn't finalise on the female lead for the film. However, the makers now confirm that 'Dangal' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is on board with 'Thugs Of Hindostan'.

A leading daily recently revealed the real reason why the makers finalised on Fatima to play the lead. A source close to the daily informed, "Nobody was surprised when Fatima Sana Sheikh was signed opposite Aamir Khan in Thugs Of Hindostan. While a few top actresses including Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and even Vaani Kapoor were in talks to do the film, most of them, save Vaani, weren’t so keen once they heard the fee for the film, especially when Aamir was being given his market price and more."

The source further added, "The actresses had loved the script as it revolved around the female protagonist taking revenge but the talks fizzled out when they realised that Aditya Chopra wanted them to sign the film almost for free. There was a discussion whether Vaani or Fatima suited the role better — the latter was Aamir’s choice and the former Adi’s. Eventually, Aamir had his way."

Well, what do you think about Fatima bagging a prominent role in Aamir and Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Thugs Of Hindostan'?
