The lovely Katrina Kaif might smile and pretend that all is well. But it isn’t and she has been doing her groundwork to try and ensure she doesn’t end up with the bad end of the deal… The film in question is Thugs of Hindostan. Katrina has been plagued by doubts about her footage in the film, given leading man Aamir Khan’s open support and encouragement of the other actress, Fatima Sana Shaikh.

He has taken Fatima – or Fats, as he calls her - firmly under his wing. At one point, he had even declared that Fatima was the real centre, the core of the film around whom all the rest of the story hung. In the months that followed, it appeared that things had settled down nicely. In fact, pictures that emerged from the sets of the film even showed Katrina, Aamir and Fatima teaming up happily for selfies. However, Kat’s fears are evidently still very much alive…

Buzz has it that the actress apparently had a special meeting with Thugs… producer, Aditya Chopra, to share her insecurities about her role. It is understandable that the stunner is worried. The plot of the Vijay Krishna Acharya film did not offer much for the leading ladies anyway. It was apparently Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan’s film, all the way. However, Katrina had decided to come on board as she has shared a good equation with Yash Raj Films and Aditya Chopra over the years.

However, seeing the bonding between Aamir and Fatima, Katrina now has serious concerns about the fate of her role in the film.During her meeting with Adi, she shared her concerns following which the Chopra head honcho apparently assured her that her role would not be snipped, and she would receive equal footage in the film as Fatima. However, we have serious doubts whether Adi’s reassurances will help; after all, in an Aamir Khan film we do know who is the real boss!
