Actor Amitabh Bachchan has praised his Thugs of Hindostan co-star Aamir Khan.

“Aamir can be termed ‘great’, not me. I have enjoyed his performances and his films. He is an accomplished actor and a great star,” Bachchan said.

Bachchan and Khan will be teaming up for the first time in the Yash Raj Films project.

The film will be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya of Dhoom 3 fame.

Besides this, Bachchan will also be in the third instalment of Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar franchise.

Sarkar 3 begins from where the last outing ended, while the character of Subhash Nagre [played by Bachchan] remains unchanged,” he said.

Asked about an announcement made by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap that his Phantom Films team is planning to work with the Piku star, Bachchan said he is clueless about any such development.

“Anurag Kashyap? No, I have not heard of any such venture. We talked a lot during the time I worked with him in Yudh and his short film, but nothing fructified,” he added.
