Fatima Sana Shaikh opts for functional training for ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’

After her blockbuster Bollywood stint ‘Dangal’, Fatima Sana Shaikh is now gearing up for ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’. The actress plays an 18th-century warrior in the period drama, for which she is required to go through considerable physical alterations.

For this, Fatima has opted for an hour of functional physical training every day. As part of her workout regime, she indulges in running, jumping, core training as well as strength training. Combination of all these is already bearing fruit! (Also Read: Fatima Sana and Nidhhi Agerwal refused to feature opposite Sushant in his next?)

But, that’s not all. Since a warrior’s character would demand her to perform fighting sequences, she is also devoting one hour to learning sword fighting every day. She is also training in archery, along with other routines.

‘Thugs of Hindostan’ has a heavy star cast that includes superstars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Actress Katrina Kaif also essays a pivotal role. The team recently shot at Malta.

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, the film is set to release on Diwali this year.
