The Geeta Phogat of Dangal is set to star in Thugs of Hindostan. Fatima Sana Sheikh, like Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor too had to audition many times before bagging the role, but she didn't mind it. "It doesn’t matter because you are giving your 100% every day. And you will only feel good once you go back home knowing you have put in so much effort."

Fatima was asked if she feels the pressure, she said, "My problem is that I put a lot of pressure on myself regardless of anyone else doing it or not. All the time, I’m worried about everything, but that’s good because it pushes me to do my best all the time. I don’t slack off. You should keep a little pressure on yourself in life. When you get such good things after working hard, you value them more."

She was also asked, is she expecting it to be easier post-Dangal? She said, "I don’t think so. Your writer, director, or producer has to be convinced about you, or until they see the character in you. And if they are auditioning you and if you also want the part, then what’s the harm in it? If I want something, I would like to prove myself. If I really want to do a film, and it requires me to audition for two years, I’d do it."

Fatima also stated, "I don’t function like that. I have been acting since I was a kid and have struggled a lot, so my thinking has never been like, ‘Oh, once I grow up, I have to be the biggest superstar heroine’. I used to just think, ‘Today, I am going to this audition and I wish I get this ad film; and I should give my 100%’. And that’s how I have always worked."
