When Fatima Sana Shaikh got finalised for
Aamir Khan's Thugs Of Hindostan, there was
this whole lotta fuss about how can Fatima
play Aamir's lover considering they shared a
father-daughter relationship in Dangal.
Some even looked down upon Aamir for
being the only superstar to come in terms
with this awkward onscreen casting. But
guess, everyone who concluded even before
knowing what the film is all about, will be in
for a major surprise after reading this latest
report. Turns out Aamir will not even fall for
Fatima in the film for his love interest is
going to be none other than the film's
second lead actress, Katrina Kaif. Yes!
A DNA report suggests how Fatima's role in
Thugs Of Hindostan leans more towards
action and sword fighting while Aamir falls
in love with Katrina as the story proceeds.
Reveals the source, "The script of TOH
required two actresses - a raw, rough and
tough Indian girl who is a part of Aamir's
gang of Thugs and in love with his character
and a beautiful British lady with whom
Aamir's character falls in love with. While the
Indian girl will be played by Fatima, Katrina
plays the British girl. Director Vijay Krishna
had said that the role of the girl is pivotal to
the film and Fatima was a gifted performer
of action'. " Now does that calm down your
emotions against how can an actor play a
father and a lover to the same actress? The
director further revealed how Fatima is soon
going to take up sword-fighting' to get her
act right for the film as he said, "Fatima will
learn how to be skillful sword-fighter in the
film as her role is action oriented." Also

play Aamir Khan's lover in Thugs of
Hindostan? The actress reacts
Meanwhile, Fatima remains unfazed by the
reaction around her casting as Aamir's
lover' in Thugs Of Hindostan. She said, "I
knew that people are going to think like
this. I am an actor after all. Suppose if I
hadn't acted in Dangal, and got an offer to
act opposite Aamir sir, I would have, of
course, said yes. Even today, if I am asked to
act opposite Shah Rukh Khan, I would stand
in the frame immediately. When you have
grown up watching these stars and are
fond of them, you would definitely want to
work with them. I used to get disheartened
and sad (when I heard such things),
because I thought, Me playing his daughter
in the film shouldn't be the reason for me
not getting the part'. There have been so
many instances of (female) actors playing
mothers, daughters and lovers (with the
same male actors). That's our job, and you
keep playing different characters from
different age groups. So, i don't have any
issues."
