Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mrunal Thakur Play Warring Sisters In Vishal Bhardwaj’s  Film

The Dangal girl Fatima Sana Shaikh has come a long way. And television actress Mrunal Thakur isn’t far behind.

Fatima who started her career on a high note as Aamir Khan’s ambitious wrestler-daughter in Dangal and will be seen as his leading lady in The Thugs Of Hindostan, has now been signed on to play one of the two female leads in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Chhuriyan(daggers). The story of two warring sisters demanded a fresh female collaboration.

Kriti Sanon  and her real-life sister were mentioned among the possible  candidates for the two roles. However  it now comes to light that the two roles have finally gone to Fatima and Mrunal Thakur.

The latter has entered the  big league after signing on for the part of  Hrithik Roshan’s wife in mathematician  Anand  Kumar’s bio-pic

A source close to casting explains, “The director wanted to keep it real yet humorous. Fatima and Mrunal have a certain warmth and  reliability about them.They are just the  right personality for playing the two sisters.”
