Star-studded Thugs of Hindostan releases today

The film stars acting legend Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood veterans Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif along with young Fatima Sana Shaikh, who has earned fame for her role in Dangal.

Thugs of Hindotan is set to treat audiences across all age groups with its action sequences along with an epic adventure and war on the seas.

The trailer, which takes audience back to the days of British Raj in India, promises a plot with conflicts between the East India Company and the Indians who wanted to free their country from Britain.

Bachchan, who is playing the role of Khudabaksh, will be seen in the trailer fighting for India's freedom. Aamir, playing the character of Firangi, has been portrayed as seemingly loyal to Lord John Clive, who was the commander of the company.

The character of Lord Clive, who is the villain in the film, has been portrayed by British actor Lloyd Owen.

Katrina, who is Suraiyaa in the film, could be seen in a glamarous avatar with her dancing skills. A few close scenes between Katrina and Aamir, who are working together for the third time in any project after Bombay Talkies and Dhoom 3, are tough to ignore.

Fatima's character has been named as Zafira.

Thugs of Hindostan is the first film where Bachchan and Aamir are sharing screen space. Aamir had earlier worked with Fatima in Dangal, which released in 2016.

Thugs of Hindostan, which was originally shot in Hindi, has been dubbed in two other languages, Tamil and Telegu.
