Bringing together for the first time on screen, two of the biggest stars of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan with a larger than life A-list cast, ‘Thugs of Hindostan,’ a YRF production, has already shattered box office records with the highest all-time opening for a Bollywood movie, according to Yash Raj Films, the film’s producers.

 

The ‘Making of’ will take you on the journey of this larger than life movie, written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, and produced by Aditya Chopra for Yash Raj Films:

 

Catch exclusive interviews with the film’s stars, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. 

 

Follow Aamir Khan’s extraordinary transformation into the intriguing 18-century Thug ring leader ‘Firangi’, who aspires to free Hindostan from the rule of the expanding British East India Company.

 

Learn how the mega production came to life, including the building of massive 2 lakh ton ships over several years, and how the ships were destroyed for a much-needed high scale action sequence. 

 

Watch Katrina Kaif’ grueling training to become ‘Suraiyya’, the best dancer in British India, who is admired by thousands and makes grown men go weak at the knees.

 

And much more….

 

On the ‘Making of’, Vijay Krishna Acharya said: “As a team, we tried to do something that has not been attempted before. I started working on this movie since 2014. The joy of it was to do this fantasy adventure, but the sheer scale of it brought so many challenges. The process of building the ships alone lasted longer than a year. I hope the audiences likes them as much as I did.” 

 

Aamir Khan said: “One of things we wanted to bring through the ‘Making of’ is a deep dive into the characters of Thugs of Hindostan. In my career, I can’t think of any other instance where I have actually said yes to the film because of the character. ‘Firangi’, my character in the film, was so attractive to me that it was something I was dying to do it when I heard the script. It is one of the most challenging characters that I have played in my career. Fortunately, there is a Firangi hidden inside all of us, so you have to tap inside yourself to bring it out.”

 

Sanjay Raina, General Manager and Senior Vice-President of Fox Networks Groups (FNG), said: “In terms of visual spectacle and large-scale productions, it doesn’t get bigger than ‘Thugs of Hindostan.’ We wanted to take viewers behind the scenes of this extraordinary film that is breaking new ground when it comes to epic entertainment. We are thrilled to bring this to all fans of Bollywood movies across the Middle East.”

 

With never seen before action extravaganza, ‘Thugs of Hindostan,’ has already created massive buzz ahead of its release and is expected to break box office records.
