Jackie Shroff To Join Amitabh Bachchan And Aamir Khan In YRF’s Next?

Director Vijay Krishna Acharya’s upcoming film, Thug for Yash Raj already boasts a stellar cast of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. And now, we have some more exciting news about the project. SpotboyE.com has it that Jackie Shroff is likely to join the two actors in the film.


Says a source, “After Big B, Acharya now wants to rope in Jackie for a pivotal role in the movie. Both Big B and Jackie’s roles are connected to the lead actress, who is yet to be finalised.”



Thug was initially offered to Hrithik Roshan who asked for a few changes in the script. Eager to get him on board, Vijay re-worked it, but things didn’t work out and Hrithik moved on to Kaabil. Later, when Vijay approached Aamir with the script’s revised version, he apparently instantly said yes. During that period Deepika Padukone had been finalised as the lead actress, however with the dates and schedules now having changed we wonder if she will come on board.



Reportedly, Thug is 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. The film is expected to go on the floors next year and the makers are eyeing Christmas 2018 for its release.
