'Thugs Of Hindostan', the most-awaited Bollywood release, is set in a different era.  This 'Pirates Of Carribean'-type (many have been reminded of it after watching the trailer) magnum opus features Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan in lead roles.  Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh have the next most important parts.

The makers have released a making video in which it's revealed that the two large ships seen in the trailer were built specifically for this movie.  The massive ships were built for the principal shoot in Malta, an archipelago in Europe.

"The film is set to treat audiences across age groups with the biggest jaw-dropping action sequences seen by audiences on screen to date. With its edge-of-the-seat thrills and an epic adventure and war on the seas, the film is set to light up this Diwali," the makers say.

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, 'TOH' has been produced by Aditya Chopra. Music is by Ajay - Atul.  Background Music is by John Stewart Eduri.

The film will hit the screens on November 8 in Hindi, Telugu (dubbed) and Tamil (dubbed).
