Fatima Sana Shaikh To Star Opposite Shah Rukh Khan In Saare Jahaan Se Achha?

Fatima Sana Shaikh And Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan’s last film Zero was a box-office disaster and now, all hopes are on his next, Saare Jahaan Se Achha, which is a biopic on Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian to travel into space.

Now we hear that the makers are planning to rope in Fatima Sana Shaikh, who made her debut with Dangal, as the female lead. Reportedly, the makers are quite keen to cast Fatima as they are very impressed with her acting skills. Interestingly, the movie was initially offered to Fatima’s mentor Aamir Khan but he refused to do it and instead suggested SRK’s name for it. Wonder if he put in a word for his protégée too.

Directed by Mahesh Mathai, the film is all set to go on floors in February, 2019.
