After
working
on
two
big
budget
projects
"Dangal" and
"Thugs
of
Hindostan",
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh's
next
is
with
Anurag
Basu
and
the
actor
says
shooting
for
the
film
was
more
play
and
less
work
for
her.
The
actor,
who
trained
in
wrestling
for
her
role
of
Geeta
Phogat
in
her
debut
and
worked
hard
to
get
a
leaner
look
for
"Thugs...",
said
Basu
has
an
unusual
approach
to
filmmaking.
"I
went
to
meet
dada
(Basu)
and
he
gave
a
brief
of
the
story.
I
asked
him
what
I
have
to
do
in
the
film?
He
just
said,
'You
just
come
to
the
set,
we
will
do
it.'
I
went
to
the
set
we
discussed
things
and
every
day
he
would
come
up
with
new
things
and
we
just
played
around.
"So
it
was
a
different
type
of
work.
'Thugs...'
and
'Dangal'
needed
a
lot
of
prep,
we
did
a
lot
of
hard
work
before
starting
the
film.
But
things
were
different
here.
It's
been
more
of
a
playground
for
me
than
a
serious
project," Fatima
told
PTI.
The
27-year-old
actor
stars
opposite
Rajkummar
Rao
in
the
currently
untitled
project,
which
centres
on
unavoidable
jeopardies
of
life
and
has
four
different
stories
set
in
a
quintessential
Indian
metro.
The
film,
scheduled
to
release
on
September
6,
also
features
her
"Dangal" co-star
Sanya
Malhotra,
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Pankaj
Tripathi
among
others.
Fatima
said
working
with
Rajkummar
was
a
great
experience
for
her.
"I
enjoyed
a
lot.
I
loved
the
team
and
had
a
great
time
on
the
set
every
day...
Rajkummar
is
killing
it
and
has
established
himself
as
one
of
the
best
actors
of
our
generation.
His
journey
has
been
inspiring," she
added.
The
actor,
who
has
worked
with
some
of
the
biggest
names
in
the
industry
such
as
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Aamir
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif,
will
soon
be
teaming
up
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
for
horror-comedy,
Bhoot
Police.
Fatima
said
she
is
happy
to
collaborate
with
another
'Khan'
as
well
as
director
Pavan
Kripalani,
best
known
for
2016
film
"Phobia".
"I
really
liked
Pavan's
work
in
'Phobia'.
I
am
glad
that
I
met
him
and
we
are
doing
a
film
together.
It's
a
great
film
to
be
a
part
of.
When
I
read
the
initial
drafts
of
the
film,
I
knew
I
want
to
be
in
it.
And
then
there
is
Saif.
I
want
to
work
with
all
the
Khans.
I
have
worked
with
Shah
Rukh
when
I
was
a
kid,
but
would
like
to
work
with
him
again,"
she
said.
Presented
by
Fox
Star
Studios,
Bhoot
Police
will
go
on
floors
in
August.
