Big B-Aamir Khan in Thug?

In the his last YRF film, Aamir Khan worked with Abhishek Bachchan in Dhoom 3. And now he's going to work with Amitabh Bachchan. But is this true?

Apparently, it will be Yash Raj production's next untitled film to be helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. The reason we're asking this is because Mr Perfectionist does only one film at a time. The venture will belong to the action-adventure genre, allegedly being titled Thug. Rumour mills are buzzing that the movie is inspired an 1839 English novel, Confessions of a Thug, by Philip Meadows Taylor. The novel captures the thug culture's numerous killings for money and precious belongings, prevalent during the British-India era. Acharya known as Victor has previously directed Tashan and Dhoom 3.

It will be a double whammy of sorts for fans to see the veteran actor and the perfectionist for the first time. As per sources, the two have given a go-ahead to producer Aditya Chopra. "The makers are known to keep each of their projects under wraps till it gets rolling. Everyone associated with the venture has been told to keep mum till an official announcement is made. It is an ambitious project, no doubt," a source told a tabloid. An official announcement is yet to be made.

Now this nugget of info might come as a surprise to many because who wouldn't want to work with the Big B? Apparently, Hrithik Roshan was offered the project, but he had some reservations and gave it a thumbs down. It was also being speculated that Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Deepika Padukone were offered the movie.
