Starring Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan in the lead, "Thugs of Hindostan" is being produced by Aditya Chopra and will be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.
Kriti's name has been doing the rounds for sometime.
"We don't know where this is coming from. We haven't zeroed down on anybody. We have not locked anybody. We are still thinking who will fit the role best," a source close to the movie said.
There will be one leading lady in the film romancing Aamir.
Earlier, Vaani Kapoor's name had also cropped up for the action adventure film which gave rise to speculation that the makers are looking for a young actress.
The film's shooting will begin from March.
"We are yet to zero in on the locations. We are still scouting, but most of it (shoot) will be in Mumbai," the source added.
