Take a look at the trailer of the film which is slated to release on November 8:



Reportedly set in the backdrop of India under the British rule in the 19th century, Thugs of Hindostan is inspired by Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug. It revolves around the life of a thug and his gang who challenge the British Empire in the country.


Aamir plays Firangi Mallah in a film and he has undergone a major transformation to justify the character.  Big B as Khudabaksh looks like a warrior, Fatima as Zafira is apparently the daredevil while Katrina as Suraiyya, the ultimate diva.


The trailer is visually enticing and larger-than-life. Aamir and Amitabh will have a face-off and it will be interesting to see who wins the battle - Firangi Mallah or Azad (Khudabaksh).
