After Dangal (2016) and the upcoming Thugs Of Hindostan, Fatima Sana Shaikh's next film is likely to be the sequel of Life In A... Metro (2007). Buzz is that Taapsee Pannu, who was under consideration for Anurag Basu's directorial venture, is unable to give a nod due to date issues.

The makers now feel Aamir Khan's protégé makes for a better choice. The sequel is slated to star Saif Ali Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonakshi Sinha, Ishaan Khatter, Rajkummar Rao and Parineeti Chopra. The slice-of-life film rolls in December.
