As is his wont, Aamir has undergone a massive physical transformation for the role. He lost over 20 kgs for the film and got nose and ear piercing done. Earlier, for Dangal, Aamir had put on 95 kgs to play Mahavir Singh Phogat.

The film is an adaptation of the 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug, and promises to have action on sea and a dose of history. It also brings Amitabh and Aamir together for the first time.

Thugs of Hindostan is slated for a 2018 Diwali release.
