Aamir Khan to Fatima Sana Shaikh: Who plays what in Thugs of Hindostan

Come November, and Bollywood will be witness to a never-seen-before spectacle in the form of Vijay Krishna Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan. What looks like a crossover between Pirates of the Caribbean and a Bollywood period drama, has already become the talk of the town. With all the key characters introduced through intriguing motion posters, let's take a look at who plays what in Thugs of Hindostan.

AAMIR KHAN AS FIRANGI MALLAH: Handlebar moustache, ruffled hair, rose-tinted glasses, green coat and a big smile. Meet Firangi Mallah. The latest thug on board, who looks more cheerful and colourful than any of the characters. Aamir Khan seems like a perfect blend of mystery and mischief as Firangi.

AMITABH BACHCHAN AS KHUDABAKSH: The commander of the Thugs, Khudabaksh is to look out for. Beard, unkempt hair, turban and piercing eyes, Amitabh Bachchan looks fierce as a commander in Vijay Krishna Acharya's directorial venture.

KATRINA KAIF AS SURAIYYA JAAN: Katrina is back with Aamir, and this time she essays the role of Suraiyya Jaan. While her look will take you back to her Chikni Chameli act, she plays a gorgeous dancer in the action-adventure film.

FATIMA SANA SHAIKH AS ZAFIRA: Dangal girl has stepped into the shoes of a fearless warrior for Thugs of Hindostan. She essays the role of a 'warrior thug' Zafira who specialises in combat by bow and arrow.

LLOYD OWEN AS JOHN CLIVE: Meet the cruel and merciless villain, John Clive. He is the commander of the East India Company forces and is ready to take down the thugs.
