The latest Bollywood updates.
Aamir Khan recently disclosed that after the release of his biographical sports drama Dangal, he will commence filming for Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thug.
As per reports, the role was initially offered to Hrithik Roshan but due to his demand for changes in the script, the deal couldn’t work out.
Later, the director approached the Ghajini actor with a tweaked script, and he immediately said yes.
