Yash Raj Films is leaving no stones unturned to ensure audiences are treated to a big screen visual extravaganza like never before when Thugs of Hindostan releases in Diwali.
With two of the biggest icons of Hindi cinema Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan and coming together for the first time ever, Thugs is one of the biggest ever films to release in modern times and it looks like the makers are leaving no stones unturned to ensure the film is the biggest ever in terms of scale.
The team shot in Malta to bring to life a fantasy action adventure that will visually stand out for audiences and it seems this schedule is the most expensive outdoor shoot in the history of Indian cinema.
A source says, “Viktor (Vijay Krishna Acharya) wanted to create a world where fantasy and reality seem to merge visually. It needed a pristine, unseen location and a setting where two huge ships can fit in naturally. The two ships were also built in Malta by international teams with expertise in constructing massive ships for Hollywood films. The team shot in various, incredible locations in Malta and stayed there close to 45 days. When you add all this up, the cost of shooting Thugs here becomes the biggest for any film’s outdoor location in the history of Indian cinema.”
The Diwali entertainer, Thugs of Hindostan, is set to release on 7th November 2018.
