The film is based on Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug,[2][5] about a Thug called Ameer Ali, whose gang of Thugs posed a serious challenge to the British Empire in India (then known as Hindustan or Hindostan) during the early 19th century.[2] Thugs of Hindostan is set to be released during Diwali on 7 November 2018.[6]

The film's production budget is ₹210 crore (US$25 million),[1] making it the most expensive Yash Raj Films production.[7] Filming commenced on 5 June 2017 in Malta. The film is also being shot in Thailand.[8]

It is the first time that Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are collaborating on a film. It is also Khan's second time collaborating with Vijay Krishna Acharya and Katrina Kaif, after Dhoom 3 (2013).[9] The film will have a dance sequence featuring Bachchan, choreographed by Prabhu Deva.[10] It will also reportedly feature sea battles similar to ones seen in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean.[2]
