Produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs Of Hindostan starred Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif apart from Aamir. It released on Diwali and was one of the most anticipated films of 2018. However, it not only tanked at the box office in India but was widely panned by the audience and critics as well.

While addressing the press in November after the dismal performance of Thugs Of Hindostan, Aamir had taken full responsibility for the film's failure.

"I think we went wrong and I would like to take full responsibility for that. We tried very hard to make a good film and we didn't hold back from putting in our entire effort, but somewhere or the other we went wrong," Aamir said in November.

Thugs Of Hindostan is reported to be one of the most expensive Bollywood films ever made.
