Fatima Sana Shaikh signs her third big project after Dangal and Thugs of Hindostan.
While Fatima Sana Shaikh is still awaiting the release of her second Bollywood movie, Thugs of Hindostan, she has already signed her third big project. Yes, if a recent report by Bollywood Hungama is to believe, the actress is all set to star in the sequel of Anurag Basu's Life in a Metro. The actress has apparently replaced Taapsee Pannu in this multi-starrer and this is a big news for all her fans. Well, all we can say is that Taapsee's loss is Fatima's gain!
While one may wonder the reason behind Taapsee's exit and if she had any issues with the script, we have an answer to all your queries. The actress in fact could not accommodate dates for this new project and as a result, she had to say no to Anurag Basu. With films like Badla, Womaniya and Tadka already in the pipeline, there was no way she could give her dates to any new project.
