Every character of Aamir Khan is much anticioated by the viewers. Similarly, the upcoming movie ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ has been creating much of a buzz. Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ stars Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Shashank Arora and Jackie Shroff. In the film, Aamir Khan plays the role of a slippery character with no scruples.

While promoting his latest film ‘Secret Superstar’ in Hong Kong, actor Aamir Khan revealed some interesting details about his character in ‘Thugs of Hindostan’. Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs of Hindostan is based on the exploits of the Thuggee cult in British India. Aamir said, “Thugs of Hindostan is a big action-adventure film. There’s no message in that.”

He added, “I’m playing a character who cannot be trusted at all – [so it’s the] very opposite of Dangal … He’s a very slippery character. He has no scruples at all – for money he can sell his mother out. He’s like that.” In Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir Khan will be seen sporting a nose-ring for the first time. Earlier leaked pictures from the sets of ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ also vouch for Aamir’s description of the character. “But [the character] is a very entertaining guy. So it’s a very entertaining kind of a film. No message this time. Just have a good time.”

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Thugs of Hindostan is the biggest budget film to be made under the banner. Vijay Krishna Acharya had previously directed Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3.
