Reportedly, along with Fatima Sana Shaikh, Katrina Kaif has also been roped in to play a part in Thugs Of Hindostan.

It was reported last week only that the Dangal girl has been signed for the female lead in Aamir Khan’s Thugs Of Hindostan. But now according to a report of Pinkvilla, the Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has also been roped in to play a role opposite Mr. Perfectionist.

Another report of Bollywood Life quotes a source saying, “Aditya Chopra loved Aamir Khan’s pairing with Katrina in Dhoom 3. Salman had also recommended her name, so Aditya really wanted her to be a part of Thugs of Hindostan. His team approached Katrina with the part and she has accepted it.”
