Netflix’s ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ actress Fatima Sana Shaikh teams up with ‘Saiyaara’ star Aneet Padda for their next project: “There are huge plans to make…”

Netflix’s ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ actress Fatima Sana Shaikh who was also seen in Metro In Dino, is teaming up with Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda for a legal drama titled Nyaya that will be directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a Rs. 400 crores hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity.”

About Fatima Sana Shaikh

In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films. She said, “Finally, there are women who are asking for what they deserve, and that is commendable because to voice it and to even receive that was like a dream. And, you know, these are the women like Deepika Padukone who are paving paths for us so that tomorrow when we are in that position, we won’t obviously think twice to get our due.”

On working with Anurag Basu

I didn’t get to interact with other characters a lot. I largely interacted with Sara Khan and Ali Fazal that you’ve seen in the trailer also. So, I didn’t unfortunately get to share the screen with all of these other actors that I’m a huge fan of.

The best thing about Anurag (dada) is that you are not bound by the script and you know what you’re getting into. So, you learn a lot when you go to the set. Even if there is a climax scene, even if there is a hectic scene, you come to know about it in the morning. And you just go with the flow. Whatever comes on your way, you just figure it out. You try to be as honest as possible. And that’s what we all did, and there is, you know, significant fun in that too.
