Presenting Aamir Khan as the intriguing Firangi in Thugs of Hindostan

Wednesday, 26 September 2018 13:15

Yash Raj Films Thugs of Hindostan is taking the anticipation for the trailer sky high with its innovative marketing strategy to introduce the primary characters of the film through motion posters.

Today, YRF unveiled the highly awaited first look of Aamir Khan from Thugs of Hindostan. Aamir’s look is extremely intriguing as he plays a character uniquely named ‘Firangi’ and he sports brown hair, a look that Aamir has never been seen in. He travels on a donkey and going by his entire look, he seems to be an extremely wily character.

Having pulled off an incredible casting coup by bringing together two of the biggest legends of Indian cinema Amitabh Bachchan (who plays the role of the fierce warrior Khudabaksh) and Aamir Khan on screen for the first time, this film is most awaited by audiences. It also stars Katrina Kaif as the gorgeous performer Suraiyya and Fatima Sana Shaikh as the daredevil Zafira.

The film is set to treat audiences across age groups with a visual scale like never before. With the biggest jaw-dropping action sequences seen on screen to date and an epic war on the seas, the film is set to light up this Diwali.

YRF’s mega action entertainer, Thugs of Hindostan, is set to release on November 8, in time for the Diwali festivity.
