Overview

• Aamir Khan revealed that he never connected with Thugs of Hindostan and attributed his stance to creative differences with director Vijay Krishna Acharya and producer Aditya Chopra.
• He spent around eight months urging changes to the film’s structure and writing before ultimately deferring to the director and producer’s vision.
• Khan said he felt no pre-release anxiety because he knew the film would struggle to find an audience if he himself did not enjoy it.
• Despite its record opening of Rs 50.75 crore, he publicly accepted full responsibility for the movie’s subsequent box office failure.
• He contrasted this experience with Laal Singh Chaddha’s flop, saying the latter hurt more because he genuinely believed it was a good film.
