Fatima Sana Shaikh, who marked her acting debut with 'Dangal', has joined the cast of Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Thugs of Hindostan'.

Fatima had essayed the role of Geeta Phogat, an Indian wrestler.

"The role of the girl is pivotal to the film so it was crucial for us to find the perfect fit. Through a rigorous round of auditions and action workshops, we found in Fatima a truly dedicated actor and a gifted performer of action. We are very happy to have found the perfect girl for our film," said director Vijay Krishna Acharya.

This will also be a second project together for Acharya and Aamir after 'Dhoom 3', read a statement released on behalf of Yash Raj Films, which is producing the film.
