Despite their distinguished biographies, Aamir and Big B have never made a film together - Thugs of Hindostan will be their first. Big B has been in films with Aamir's fellow Khans, Shah Rukh and Salman.
Very little is known about the film so far but it's reportedly based on novelist Philip Meadows' 1839 book Confessions of a Thug. Vijay Krishna Acharya, the 'Victor' of Aamir's tweet, will direct.
