Two industry legends, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, will be sharing screen screen-space in Yash Raj Films’ upcoming action film ‘Thug’. While there have been plenty of rumours surrounding the Vijay Krishna Acharya directed film, Bachchan has confirmed for the very first time that he will indeed be seen with Aamir in the film.
“I don’t know if I can talk about the film at this moment. I haven’t been given permission. All I can say is that it is a very exciting subject”
“It’s a great honour and privilege to be working with Aamir, to be working with Yash Raj again and also to work with Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya), I just look forward to that moment” Bachchan said.
‘Thug’ was first offered to Hrithik Roshan who decided not to do the film as the script did not convince him. The script is said to have been re-written after which it was offered to Aamir, who green-lighted the project quicker than he usually does.
In the last few years, Aamir has been smart with his film choices. He does films like Talaash, PK, Dangal and mixes it up with commercially safer films like Dhoom 3 and Thug.
Industry insiders say, YRF is targeting ‘Thug’ for the Christmas 2017 weekend.
Super excited for next year, too many brilliant films

YRF is joining hands with Megastars like #SalMir and trying to encash their MegaStardom in their upcoming movies ETT Sequal and Thug but nobody wants to encash the Super Tiny stardom of our haklu so he is doing Dadaji role in Alia film, doing films with Crap rom-com director like Imtiyaaz ali. Only hope is from ALR that too coz Bhai let go this project for Haklu, Another Bheekh from Bhai !!!!
Bhaai saal ke 360days mai se kuch aur bhi select kar lo why always bothered about Christmas ?? Ek mil gyi
Na ish year for dangal so baakiyo ko v chance do by d way superstar kabhi v aa sakte h
Good news, I think Thug will release on Christmas 2017.
Have you ever seen me this active on Aamir articles like you see me in this article? No na. Wanna know the reason. I am getting hyperactive as I read these comments today and felt ashamed.

I am Aamir fan but you will never know that from my comments. Instead writing about Aamir all I do is to hate SRK and write stupid comments. I am now a SRK hater and not Aamir Khan.
Highly rated comment Thumb up 16 Thumb down 2
A new script means A new Movie altogether and some idiots here > ”I don’t trust this director” like they have closely seen him working.
Dhoom 3 was crap.
This is going to be worse than dhoom 3
Hrithik Why You Do This Man ;(
Big News. Big Big News this is. Will be interesting.
Simply humungous …. beyond imagination …. if 2018 Dwarf will be dwarfed again or run away
Tubelight vs Thug for highest grosser of 2017
Tubelight vs Thug for highest grosser of 2017
This will be the biggest movie of the year! Even bigger than YRF.
If Deepika comes on board as well, even with average content, THUG will surpass 300 crore at the domestic box office.
I meant even bigger than TUBELIGHT* in my previous comment.
This is Big,bigger, biggest..
Would have loved to see HR doing this but equally excited about Aamir doing Thug..
It would a Blockbuster..
News of the Year
Aamir Khan & Amitabh in THUG
Again HR walked out of a promising film. Being a HR fan, he is certainly not doing any favour to himself.
Next Christmas PADMAVATI vs THUG vs SANJAY DUTT’S BIOPIC.
Two Legends are coming Together.
Excited AAMIR & Big B Best Combo
Intresting another ATBB coming
I don’t think Aamir would make the same mistake like Dhoom 3 again in his career.
He is very choosy when it comes to scripts.
If he has liked it, I’m sure it’ll a great commercial entertainer like Ghajini and Fanaa.
Also, we shouldn’t forget Victor wrote Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2 story & screenplay which were fantastic films.
THUG is based on the best selling novel “Confessions Of A Thug”
It is a given that THUG will break most records of box office if it comes solo and on Christmas 2017.
great news aamir is a great actor working with Bachchan Excited
Please clash with Dwarf on Xmas 2018, it will be ultra epic. May the best man win.
Aamir make 2 or 3 films of a year….. can’t wait for a whole year
I don’t think Amir will be able to finish the movie by Xmas 2017, he likes to take his time with a movie.
Now Waiting for Dangal & Thug
@ the beast, had you born without your grandfather ? Tell your father to work with YRF instead of SRK and give blockbuster. lol !!!
Salman & Aamir both are on the top of the game this tym
Tashan 2 loading. Vijay Krishna Acharya is a medicore director. No brand ( Dhoom series ) with mega budget and most importantaly clash with content rich Padmavati ( Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next ).
