Makers of 'Thugs Of Hindostan' that stars Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are still on a look out for the leading lady of the film. The film has remained in the news for the speculations around its lead actress. It was earlier speculated that Kriti Sanon will be playing the lead opposite Aamir, however, a recent report suggests that the makers plan to approach Alia for the role.
The casting of the film has raised many eyebrows, and a lot of names are being thrown around for the same. A source close to a leading daily revealed, "Aamir is keen on casting Alia, as he considers her to be a far more established actress in the current lot, but nothing has been finalised yet." It also suggests that Aamir is much in favour of roping Alia for the film.
Another source close to Catch News quoted, "Alia is one of the contenders and Aamir is said to be in favour of casting her in the film. He said to have again spoken to Aditya Chopra about the same. However, the final decision is yet to be made."
Well, if Alia gives a nod for the film, 'Thugs Of Hindostan' will be the actress' first collaboration with the Yash Raj Films. Helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, the film will release around Diwali next year.
