Soon after the announcement of the Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan was made, rumours of the female lead began swirling. From Deepika Padukone to Alia Bhatt and Sharaddha Kapoor, lots of names popped up when it came to the role of the actress, but it looks like none of them have been cast. Instead the heroine to bag this coveted film is none other than Fatima Sana Shaikh, who played the role of Geeta Phogat in Dangal.
