Development:

In September 2016, Yash Raj Films’ next project titled Thugs of Hindostan was announced, and would feature Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. The lead actress was not yet finalised at the time. The film was initially titled only Thug; it was set for a release on Diwali in 2018. Hrithik Roshan, who was initially approached with the film’s leading role, suggested some changes to the script. The film producer Aditya Chopra agreed; meanwhile, Acharya approached Khan with the script, who agreed to do the film with no changes to the storyline. Later, in November 2016, Khan also requested that the script be reworked, particularly the character of the leading actress, and put the project on hold.Meanwhile, he grew his hair and beard for his look in the film

In making Thugs of Hindostan, Acharya wanted to give a twist to period drama films and thus made what he considered “an irreverent film which has a chapter that is not very noble”. He made the film a visual “spectacle”, considering the difficulty in bringing audiences to theatres

Mehrangarh Fort, situated in Rajasthan, where a large portion of sequences were filmed.

• Thugs of Hindostan’s estimated production budget is ₹3 billion (US$42 million), making it the most expensive Bollywood film. It was initially planned to be produced on a budget of ₹900 million, but the budget was overrun while film shooting. Film Shoot to commenced on 5 June 2017 in Malta. Two ships were constructed in Malta for the purpose of film shooting was heavily guarded to prevent leaks from sets. The ships were built by over 1000 people working together and weighed 200,000 kg each. By 28 June 2017, Bachchan finished film shooting his first schedule in Malta. In middle July, Khan took a break from filming and went on a vacation to Italy.

• Film Shooting also took place in Thailand, from 6 December 2017. The schedule was wrapped up on 26 December 2017. Some sequences were also shot in Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur. After Bachchan experienced discomfort on set, a team of doctors visited him in Jodhpur. His wife, Jaya Bachchan stated that his heavy costumes hurt his back and neck. The stunts aggravated his pre-existing neck and shoulder pain, which was a result of past injuries from stunts he did for film shooting in the 1970-80s. Bachchan stated that he was back to normal. The film’s shooting was put on a short hiatus as a result of his injury. He resumed film shooting on 13 March 2018. The film’s climax sequence was filmed in Jodhpur, Rajasthan in late March 2018.
