“To me, having Mr Bachchan on set, for Thugs of Hindostan was an extra ordinary experience in itself. I have grown up idolising him and am an absolute fan of his Seventies films like Deewar. That he would have to deal with pain had me worried. I had offered to reschedule the last day’s shoot but he insisted on completing these portions and actually did a fine job! The kind of professional focus, commitment and sheer love for cinema he has is quite unmatched. I am overwhelmed, as is the unit that also worked at 100 percent to make this day’s work easier.”
Thugs of Hindostan has been partially shot on two massive ships put up on the coast of Malta, Europe. Two giants, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan have teamed up for the first time and the same has created immense excitement among the audience.
Also starring Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Thugs of Hindostan is slated to release around Diwali 2018. Apart from Thugs of Hindostan, the other films to be produced by YRF include Hitchki, Tiger Zinda Hai, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Sui Dhaaga.
