Bollywood actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is gearing up for Meghna Gulzar’s directorial Sam Bahadur, in which she’ll be co-starring with Vicky Kaushal. The actor plays the titular role in the film, which also stars Sanya Malhotra, among other actors. The movie is based on the life of Sam Manekshaw, who was the Chief of Army Staff during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971. He was the first army officer to get promoted to the rank of field marshal.
Fatima shared a picture of herself on Friday, updating her fans about how she’s preparing for the film. The caption of her post read, “Sinking my teeth in Sam Bahadur.” The actress used a hashtag for Sam Bahadur and also tagged the director Meghna Gulzar as she was also featured in the frame, as Fatima penned the caption.

Besides Sam Bahadur, the actress is all set to appear in Tarun Dudeja’s directorial Dhak Dhak.
