Thugs of Hindostan is an upcoming 2018 Indian Hindi-language epic action-adventure film, written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, and produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Lloyd Owen in leading roles. Set in 1795, the film follows a band of Thugs led by Khudabaksh Azaad (Bachchan), who aspires to free Hindustan (the Indian subcontinent) from the rule of the expanding British East India Company. Alarmed, British commander John Clive (Owen) sends a small-time Thug from Awadh, Firangi Mallah (Khan), to infiltrate and counter the threat. The soundtrack was composed by Ajay-Atul with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Produced on a budget of ₹210 crore (US$29 million), Thugs of Hindostan is the most expensive Bollywood film. It marked the second collaboration between Khan, Acharya and Kaif, after Dhoom 3 (2013). Principal photography commenced on 5 June 2017 in Malta. In October, a dance sequence choreographed by Prabhu Deva and centred on Bachchan was filmed. The film was also shot in Thailand and Mehrangarh; it was put on a short hiatus after Bachchan experienced discomfort on set. Filming concluded in March 2018, the final schedule being completed in Rajasthan. Thugs of Hindostan is set to be released during the week of the Diwali festival, on 8 November 2018.
