Amitabh Bachchan
turned 74 today and just like every year, the veteran actor is celebrating his
big day with the media and fans besides his family.
Addressing the
press, Big B revealed details about his two big projects – Sarkar 3, which is
being helmed by Ram Gopal Varma and Thugs Of Hindostan, to be directed by Vijay
Krishna Acharya. The film also stars Aamir Khan and Jackie Shroff (Jackie Shroff To Play The Baddie In Sarkar 3?, Sept 5).

He said: "I
begin shooting for Sarkar 3 after 2 days. It will have a similar premise that
the other two had."
He elaborated
saying that that the shoot of Thugs of Hindostan with Aamir Khan will start in
February next year.
The first two
parts of the Sarkar franchise (Sarkar and Sarkar Raj) did pretty well at the
ticket windows and RGV, who has had quite a lean spell in the recent past, is
hoping to bounce back with this one.
Thugs Of
Hindostan is reportedly based on the 1839 English novel, Confessions Of A
Thug by Philip Meadows Taylor. The novel is a tale of crime and retribution,
set in 1832 India. The plot reveals the practices of thugs, who killed
travellers for money and valuables.
Amitabh also spoke about the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan and said, "People of this country are very angry by the incidents that have been happening at our borders, its time to show solidarity
Its time to show solidarity towards our jawans & armed forces who are sacrificing their lives so that you & me can be safe".
