After Thar and Modern Love Mumbai, it’s time for Fatima Sana Shaikh to focus on her next, Sam Bahadur. The actor will play the late Indira Gandhi in the Sam Manekshaw biopic that sees Vicky Kaushal in the titular role and Sanya Malhotra as his wife Siloo Manekshaw. Exciting as it is to step into the shoes of the former prime minister, Shaikh considers working with director Meghna Gulzar a bigger incentive. “I got excited about the film only because of Meghna,” she grins.
