Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who plays the role of the 'flamboyant, deceptive, slippery, smooth-talking thug Firangi in 'Thugs of Hindostan' says that playing the role was fun.
Talking about his character in the film, which hits the cinema screens on Diwali, Aamir said,''when I heard the script for the first time, I loved the character of Firangi. He's a strange guy because he is not a very reliable person at all. He is someone who is constantly lying and you don't know when he is telling the truth. Fortunately, I don't know anyone like Firangi in real life! "
Talking about Aamir's character, his co star Fatima Sana Sheikh said,''Ekdum matlabi hai. In real life agar mein kissi Firangi ko jaanti, toh uss se das foot door rahoongi!(He is a real self centred person. In real life if I know such a person , I will stay at a distance from him) "
Talking about the character, Amitabh Bachchan said,''He has a dual personality, he's great fun, he's smart, he's intelligent and he has a difficult job of balancing two great powers (the Thugs and the British East Indian Company)."
Director Vijay Krishna Acharya (Viktor) too described Firangi hilariously. , "He's not a character you would want in your life! He is just so unreliable,''the Big b said.
Thugs of Hindostan, the visually grand mega action adventure from Yash Raj Films, is a fictional story that is set during British East Indian Company's rule over India in the 1800s.
It boasts of a larger than life, never seen before action extravaganza and an incredible casting coup that brings together two of the biggest legends of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan on screen for the first time. Thugs of Hindostan is set to release on November 8 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.(UNI)
