Aamir Khan is arriving this November with the BIGGEST Bollywood film of the year in Thugs of Hindostan. The movie is a period action-adventure entertainer that also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the lead. This will be the second time that Aamir and Katrina are working with director Vijay Krishna Acharya aka Victor, who previously gave them the blockbuster Dhoom 3. Thugs of Hindostan is produced by Yash Raj Films and is considered their costliest film ever made. Katrina Kaif's Thugs of Hindostan Motion Poster is BETTER Than Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan's, Say Fans - Check Out Poll Results.

As we have mentioned before, Thugs of Hindostan is a movie about pirates with Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Aamir Khan playing the sea-smugglers fighting against the East India Company. Many people are already drawing parallels of the movie with Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Carribean. However, as some fans claim otherwise, Thugs of Hindostan is not the first movie Bollywood has made on pirates. Thugs of Hindostan: Forget Jack Sparrow Inspiration, This Feature in Aamir Khan's Look Is Making Us Worried For His Firangi - Here's Why!

In 1953, the visionary film-maker, the late Guru Dutt had made Baaz. In the film, Geeta Bali's character turns pirate queen to take revenge on the evil Portuguese who had killed her father in this 16th Century based drama.

Then there is Amar Jyoti, a film made two decades earlier that also had its subject revolving around pirates. In this 1936 film, Durga Khote becomes a pirate when she is separated from her child by the tyrannical Queen of her kingdom. The movie was considered a classic and was the first Indian film screened at the Venice Film Festival.

However, we have not had films made on pirates for decades in Bollywood after that, so Thugs of Hindostan has something new to offer for the movie fans. Thugs of Hindostan will release on November 7.
