Fatima Sana Shaikh on working with Vicky Kaushal in Sam Bahadur: He is a sweetheart

Fatima Sana Shaikh is presently receiving well-deserved applause and admiration for her role in Shonali Bose's Raat Rani, one of Pritish Nandy's anthology Modern Love Mumbai's six movies. 

Fatima can be seen in the film portraying Lalzari, a Kashmiri immigrant in Mumbai who aspires of riding her two-wheeler across the city's iconic Sea Link Bridge, among several other things. She was recently seen in Raj Singh Chaudhary's Thar, which also starred Anil Kapoor and Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor. Sam Bahadur, directed by Meghna Gulzar and starring Vicky Kaushal and Sanya Malhotra, is her next project.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the Dangal actress shared her thoughts about the film and her-co stars. 

She shared her excitement about working alongside Sanya Malhotra and Vicky Kaushal and said,

“Yes! I keep on meeting Sanya anyway. We won’t be ‘acting’ together – it will be something like Ludo. We will have some passing moments together. So, it’s not like we are working together, but just the fact that we will be together in the same film is very special. And I think we are lucky for each other!  And Vicky is a sweetheart. So, it’s going to be a lot of fun! And I am a big fan of Meghna.”

For the uninitiated, Fatima will shortly be seen in Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur as Smt Indira Gandhi. It's a biopic on Sam Bahadur, the former Chief of the Army Staff and Field Marshal of the United States Army. Vicky Kaushal will represent the titular character, while Sanya Malhotra will be playing his wife, Silloo Manekshaw. Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies is producing the project, which is expected to hit theatres in August.
