If the industry buzz is to be believed, Fatima Sana Shaikh is likely to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Salute. The makers of the film, which is based on the life of astronaut Rakesh Sharma, will announce the female lead shortly as the film rolls next month. Fatima has reportedly confessed that it's her dream to romance SRK on screen. She is said to have a crush on him.

If the buzz turns out to be true, it will not come as a surprise. Fatima's mentor, Aamir Khan, with whom she teamed up in Dangal (2016) and Thugs Of Hindostan (2018), was the original choice. After he did a rethink, Mr Perfectionist felt King Khan was more apt for the role and recommended his name. So, should we assume he also suggested Fatima be roped in as the female lead?
