Photo Gallery: Meet the 'Thugs of Hindostan'

Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan will be coming together on screen for the first time in Vijay Krishna Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan, a film slated to release on November 8. The film which also stars Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Khan is a fantasy adventure film. So far, the makers have introduced 4 pivotal characters in the film. We have never seen Aamir in a costume drama before and it will be interesting to how Mr.Perfectionist has transformed for this magnum opus.

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.
