Thugs Of Hindostan actress Fatima Sana Shaikh replaces Taapsee Pannu i

Not too long ago, we had reported that
Anurag Basu is planning to take forward
the franchise of Life In A Metro. Created in
the form of anthology with over four
stories connected with one another, the
film dealt with the complex web of
relationships set against the backdrop of an
urban lifestyle. The sequel to this
unconventional film was supposed to
feature Rajkummar Rao along with
Parineeti Chopra, Taapsee Pannu amongst
others. The latest update on that front is
that Taapsee has been replaced by Fatima
Sana Shaikh.
The reason of replacement is said to be due
to date issues. Apparently, Taapsee Pannu
was facing date issues with her other work
commitments which led to her exit. As a
result of it, Fatima Sana Shaikh is expected
to have come on board. Sources close to the
development said, "Dates were a major
conflict and that is the reason why Anurag
Basu had to look out for different option
for the lead. And lucky for him, he had
already spoken to Fatima in the past. So,
when dates did become an issue, it was an
easy fix for him this time around.
The untitled film, however, is expected to
follow a completely different plotline
compared to Life In A Metro. But this film
too is said to have an extensive cast with
actors like Saif Ali Khan, Abhishek Bachchan,
Sonakshi Sinha, Isshan Khattar in prominent
roles. The yet to be titled film is supposed to
go on floor by the end of the year.
Coming to Fatima Sana Shaikh, the actress,
who returned to the big screen with the
popular role in Dangal, will next be seen in
Thugs Of Hindostan. As for Taapsee Pannu,
the actress is expected to feature next in
Womaniya which will have her playing the
role of a professional shooter.
