The second character poster from Thugs of Hindostan released in the wee hours of Wednesday and already we are crushing hard on Fatima Sana Shaikh's look as Zafira.

"Fire in her heart" is how Yash Raj Films is promoting Zafira's poster. Sure, it does have the ultimate intrigue essence that we often look for in every poster or trailer. However, perhaps there's also an emulation feature that many might notice now.
Fatima Sana Shaikh's rendition of Zafira takes us back to Jennifer Lawrence's look from the famous fantasy character Katniss Everdeen from Suzzane Collins' dystopian adventure series, Hunger Games. If you folks are fans of the series and have watched the trilogy that starred Jennifer Lawrence as the protagonist, Katniss, you'll find the common reference.
