Actors Jackie Shroff, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan plan a collaboration in Thugs of Hindostan.
“Besides the main star cast, the film will also have a strong supporting cast. He [Shroff] has been approached for the film. He has liked the role and given a positive feedback to the team. But he is yet to sign on the dotted line,” sources said.
According to sources, the 59-year-old Ram Lakhan star will be seen in a pivotal role in the movie.
Shroff and Bachchan have worked together in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Eklavya, and Shroff has shared movie credits with Khan on Dhoom 3, which was directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who is also the helmer of Thugs of Hindostan.
For Bachchan and Khan, however, this is a first collaborative effort.
“If all goes as planned he [Shroff] will be seen in opening part of the film. Like how it was in Dhoom 3,” sources said.
The makers are working out dates and other specifics with Shroff.
Thugs of Hindostan will be produced by Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF). According to the makers, the leading lady of the film will be announced soon.
The film will release on Diwali 2018.
