India, May 19 -- Actor Aamir Khan reflected on the box office failure of his 2018 film Thugs of Hindostan at a Mumbai event on Friday. The 61-year-old compared the film to Ramesh Sippy's classic Sholay (1975) and revealed that repeated script changes caused the story to lose its essence. Aamir shared, "Thugs of Hindostan is (basically) Sholay. In Sholay, you have Sanjeev Kumar's Thakur, who needs to take revenge for his family being wiped out. And two people, Jai and Veeru, come in to help. Over here, it's Zafira (Fatima Shaikh) needs same help and Firangi (Aamir) comes in." Admitting that while he usually prioritises the story above all else, here he placed his character above the story, which "bounced back badly". Speaking at the Screen Academy Masterclass, he shared, "For casting reasons, we kept changing the script. I wouldn't know I'd make a fundamental error. We should not have changed the script. So, when you've seen Thugs, you haven't seen the original script that Victor wrote." Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs of Hindostan was made on a reported budget of over Rs.300 crore, and ended up as a massive box office failure. HTC...
