Fatima Sana Shaikh: ‘I want to try and explore every genre’

Fatima Sana Shaikh made an impressive debut with Aamir Khan’s Dangal and though her last release, Thugs Of Hindostan turned out to be a dud, the actress wants to explore more genres.

Fatima will be next seen in Anurag Basu’s untitled multi-starrer, which is a dark comic anthology. She is also playing the lead role in Pawan Kriplani’s Bhoot Police, in which she will be sharing screen space with Saif Ali Khan and Ali Fazal.

Fatima is experimenting and doesn’t want to restrict herself. Talking about it, she said, “Honestly, I don’t know what I am good at. I have not done much. But I want to try different things and explore every genre, be it drama, romance or thriller. I don’t want to restrict myself. Now, there are so many options for actors to explore. I like to be a part of films which even I would like to see rather than doing movies which I don’t enjoy watching.”

Fatima will be seen opposite Rajkummar Rao in Basu’s next and they wrapped up their portion in Bhopal a few months ago. The movie also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sanya Malhotra, and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead roles. Bhoot Police will roll in August, this year.
