Fatima Sana Shaikh spoke to a leading entertainment portal Pinkvilla about her upcoming plans and recent releases.
Fatima is set to essay the role of Indira Gandhi in Sam Bahadur. Discussing the same, she shared, “It was nice. It was very interesting because it’s a huge responsibility but Meghna Gulzar is a great director and she knows exactly what she wants, what pitch to take, how much she wants to take from real life, how much she doesn’t want to take from real life if she wants to do prosthetics or not. So she’s extremely clear of what she wants from her actors and I have just tried to be honest to that and do my job as honestly as possible.”
On her collaboration with Vicky Kaushal, Fatima shared, “Vicky Kaushal is a brilliant actor. I think he’s one of the best actors of our generation. He is extremely professional, talented, very nuanced, and it was a lovely experience working with him.”
Praising director Meghna Gulzar, Fatima expressed, “Meghna Gulzar is a brilliant director. She knows what she wants. She’s extremely detail oriented and very nuanced. She has complete clarity of her thoughts and what she expects from her actors and even all the other technicians and she’s also extremely kind as a person and that makes it very easy to connect with her and to ask her questions. And you know, go back to her and ask if something is working or not working.”

We’ve got Vicky and Meghna Gulzar as a director so both of us are getting an opportunity to be a part of a film which is very special.”
