Fatima was last seen in the film Thugs of Hindostan alongside Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Katrina Kaif. However, inspire of having a big cast, the film bombed at the box office. She will be next seen with Rajkummar Rao un Anurag Basu’s directorial film. It is a sequel to Life In A Metro. But according to her: “I don’t think it is called that.” The actress will also be seen in Saif Ali Khan starrer Bhoot Police which will be directed by Pawan Kripalani. Pawan is the director of films like Phobia and Ragini MMS.

Recently, Fatima in an interview said, “I have been a child actor. I quit but making a comeback after that was difficult. I was not getting any work. People used to tell me I don’t look like Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif. They said, since I didn’t have the looks of a heroine, I should do whatever I’m offered. There have been many incidents where I was told that I was not good enough,” I only had acting on my mind. The reason why I used to go for every audition was because I would get to perform in front of the camera, even if the set-up was small.”

Talking about Dangal’s success, she said, before ‘Dangal’, I never had the chance to choose my projects. I even did ‘Dangal’ because that was my only option at that time. Every actor goes through this. That’s how things function. But I am happy that post the film and especially after ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, I have the space to choose. “There is no single rule that applies to everyone. But now there are so many opportunities because of Netflix, Amazon and other platforms. Influx of different mediums has given actors a lot more options.”
