Fatima Sana Shaikh says she is scared she wont match up the bigger cast in film like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and Katrina Kaif.
Fatima Sana Shaikh interacted with media at the trailer launch of the ‘Thugs of Hindostan‘ on Thursday alongside cast Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and director Vijay Krishna Acharya.
‘Dangal’ star Fatima when asked about her working experience with the super star Amitabh Bachchan she said, “Everyday was like going to school for me. I learned so much back then when i first met Amitabh sir I couldn’t say much but I am big fan. Even when the camera wasn’t on me and he was performing I would still end up crying when listening to him. The entire cast has done so much and I have so much more to learn. I am scared I wont be able to match to anyone of them.
When asked about her training for the new action role in the film she said, “I had to go through a lot of physical training. After Dangal I again had to start with training but I had never tried archery before so it was very fun.”

Talking about the technological shift in the last decades, Amitabh Bachchan said, “With all the development in technology they make us do more hard stuff. So you have to work the same, tech hasnt made anything easy. But visually it had made things a lot more presentable.
