Aamir Khan confirms he is working with Amitabh Bachchan

After a lot of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Aamir Khan will be sharing screen space with Amitabh Bachchan in Yash Raj Film’s upcoming project. Directed by Dhoom 3 director Vijay Krishna Acharya, the film titled Thugs of Hindostan will go on floors early next year. The makers have locked Dilwali 2018 for the release.

An elated Aamir shared the good news on his official Twitter account. “Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for has come to work with my icon, Mr Bachchan! Thanks Adi, Victor, for Thugs of Hindostan. I’m too thrilled to be working with the actor I have admired all of my life. Shoot starts early next year, and the release has been locked for Diwali 2018. Can’t wait to get started! Fingers crossed,” Aamir Khan tweeted.

Just few days back, Amitabh had also confirmed the reports and called it a great honour and privilege to be working with Aamir and Yash Raj.

Reportedly, the film was earlier offered to Hrithik Roshan, but the actor opted out of it, and Aamir hopped on board. With two superstars sharing the frame in the movie, which is based on the novel, Confessions of a Thug by Philip Meadows Taylor, one can assume that a masterpiece is in the making.
