Yash Raj Films has officially kicked off promotions for what is shaping up to be the studio’s most ambitious film ever, Thugs of Hindostan. On Monday, they officially released the logo for the film and announced the release date. Starring Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif, Thugs of Hindostan has officially been slated for a November 8 release. Starting this week, YRF will release motion pictures for characters, which will lead up to a teaser. With less than two months to go till its release, they’re cutting is closer than usual, considering not even a single image from the film has been released so far. Touted as India’s answer to Pirates of the Caribbean, the animated logo has similar iconography, with swords and emblems merging into each other to reveal the steely title: Thugs of Hindostan. Curiously, though, it is not Aamir who has received top billing but Amitabh. Aamir, who has delivered some of Hindi cinema’s biggest hits in Dangal, 3 Idiots and PK, said that he was starstruck working opposite Amitabh. Thugs of Hindostan has been budgeted at approximately Rs 300 crore. “Thugs of Hindostan is a big action-adventure film. There’s no message in that. I am playing a character who cannot be trusted at all – [so it’s the] very opposite of Dangal … He’s a very slippery character. He has no scruples at all – for money he can sell his mother out. He’s like that,” Aamir earlier told South China Morning Post about the film. Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who also directed Aamir in Dhoom 3, the film has been shot aboard ships, too. Said an insider, “Since sea and ships play an integral part in the plot, Aamir as well as (producer) Aditya Chopra were sure that they would go all out to present the biggest spectacle that Hindi cinema has ever witnessed. The film’s budgets are yet to be ascertained, but the cost for the two ships easily runs into several crores.” That’s how two mammoth ships — weighing two lakh kilos — were built by over 1,000 people, including international designers and ship makers. “It took over a year to build these two ships off the coast of Malta (in Europe). Director Vijay Krishna Acharya wanted to go the whole hog in terms of scale and create a huge visual experience. Authenticity and aesthetics have both been kept in mind given the fact that it’s a period film.” Follow @htshowbiz for more ott:10<doc-sep>Thugs of Hindostan releases on November 8. Thugs of Hindostan releases on November 8. Yash Raj Films on Monday launched the logo of much awaited action-adventure film Thugs of Hindostan. The promo is one minute and 16 seconds long and gives a sense of the epic scale of the film. Thugs of Hindostan for the first time brings together two bigwigs of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh also star in the Vijay Krishna Acharya directorial. The teaser begins with a dramatic sound effect of thunder and the names of the cast members begin to appear on the screen. Amitabh’s name has the backdrop of a red pennant with the sun emblazoned on it. The visuals are accompanied by haunting vocals. Aamir’s name has the silhouette of a mediaeval building, a fort or a palace, behind it. Katrina and Fatima’s names have the map of India as background, with ambers floating in the air. The logo itself begins to materialise with two longswords and a shield. The round shield becomes the ‘O’ of Hindostan, while the longswords form the base of the word ‘Thugs’, with ‘of’ between them. ‘Hindostan’ comes below the swords. The name of the film is written in a metallic silver colour. This suggests the film will have lots of warfare and violence in it. The plot of the film is based on Philip Meadows Taylor’s novel Confessions of a Thug and the cult of the Thuggee. Aamir Khan plays the role of Ameer Ali, the main character of the novel. The film is set for a Diwali release and the makers claim it “will be the biggest release that Bollywood has ever seen” and “promises to deliver a never-seen-before cinematic experience on the big screen.” Thugs of Hindostan releases on November 8.<doc-sep>Aamir Khan's much anticipated film Thugs of Hindostan's logo is finally out.

Also featuring Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Sheikh, the YRF project promises a lot of action. Talking about working with Big B in the film, director Vijay Krishna Acharya had earlier said, "Mr Bachchan is such a senior actor, a big star. Everyone is in awe of him and he is such a great guy to work with. He is totally professional, makes everyone feel at ease. What I have to tell myself is to see that I don't fall into the trap of being a fanboy. That is the only thing I have to watch out for, because as a director, I cannot like one actor more than the other nor can I have too much respect and awe. My job on the set is to call the shots."
