Mumbai

Actor Aamir Khan on Saturday denied
rumours that his upcoming film "Thugs Of Hindostan" being inspired by
the Johnny Depp starrer Hollywood flick "Pirates of Caribbean".
At a media meet after participating in chat show 'Dangal Dangal Baat
Chali Hai' with the whole cast of his mega blockbuster "Dangal", Aamir,
asked about the similarity, said: "The film is not inspired from any
other film. It is an action adventure film but the story is not similar.
"There are some hundreds of action adventure films. There is 'Pirates
of Caribbean', there is 'Indiana Jones' and many others. All these are
action adventure films. So the genre of our film is action adventure
but the story is different. Even my character in the film is not
similar to any other character."
"Thugs of Hindostan" is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and star
Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead
roles.
Aamir feels that Fatima who had portrayed the character of his daughter
in "Dangal" is the right choice for this film as well.
"We are starting the shoot for 'Thugs of Hindostan' in June. Fatima is
the heroine of the film. I am very happy as she is a very good artist,
she suits the role."
With "Dangal" doing great business in China, the actor said he feels
that films like it do not have any language or culture barrier and have
a global connect. "I suppose people have loved the film. These kind of
films do not have any language or culture barriers. These are human
stories which connect to everybody, irrespective of their language or
region.
"So this is the beauty of creative things... that they do not have any
national or political boundaries."
Asked whether he is receiving any messages from his Chinese fans, he
said: "I am getting many messages from China, the way they are reacting
on social media as well is making me very happy"
The press conference ended with Aamir singing song "Dhakad Hai" from
"Dangal".
