Aamir Khan to star in 'Thug' instead of Hrithink Roshan?

It’s always big news when Aamir Khan commits to a film because he takes forever to say yes to a project. However, this time even before the release of Dangal, the actor has greenlit Thug, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya aka Victor, who earlier directed him in Dhoom: 3. 

The Yash Raj film, Thug, was earlier offered to Hrithik Roshan, who asked for some changes. It didn’t work out to his expectations and he moved on to Kaabil, while Victor went back to the writing table. The director came up with a script so different from what was offered to Roshan Jr that it’s almost like a different film, with very little resemblance to the original script. 
And he approached Aamir with the revised version, who said yes almost immediately, as he was looking to do something light and fun after Dangal, in which he plays a father to three teenage girls.
