News Topical, Digital Desk : Bollywood star Aamir Khan worked in the 2018 film Thugs of Hindostan. In this film, he played the role of Firangi Mallah and the movie flopped badly. Now in an interview, the actor told that it was very difficult for him to find the lead actress in this film.
Why was Fatima cast?
Recently, the actor had revealed that many A-list actresses including Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt had refused this project of Yash Raj Films. Later, producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya cast Fatima Sana Shaikh in the film.
Fatima Sana Shaikh, who played the role of Aamir Khan's daughter in Aamir Khan's film 'Dangal', was seen in the role of Aamir Khan's lover in the film Thugs of Hindostan.
The director had refused
In an interview to a media portal, Aamir Khan told that the director said, "We will not make any romantic track between you and her because she was your daughter in 'Dangal'. How can she play the role of your girlfriend here? The audience will reject it."
To this the actor replied, "I don't believe in all this. I am not actually her father, nor am I actually her boyfriend. We are making a film brother.
The audience is not fool - Aamir
The 'Thugs of Hindostan' actor cited the example of veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Waheeda Rehman, who have played mother-son and lover in films. He also said, "The audience is not so stupid that they will mistake him for a real father. If we say so, then we are underestimating our audience."
Aamir Khan called the script weak
The actor revealed that Fatima was signed for the film after all the top female actresses refused. He admitted that many actresses refused to do the film because of a weak script. Aamir said, "When we were casting for it, no other female actress said yes to it. Deepika, Alia, Shraddha - everyone refused. That film was offered to the entire industry, but no one wanted to do it."
