After meeting the thugs of Thugs of Hindostan — Amitabh Bachchan as Khudabaksh and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Zafira, the makers have now decided to change the game. Instead of teasing the looks of Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif, they decided to reveal the villain of the piece, John Clive, played by Lloyd Owen. “Cruel and merciless,” said his introduction.

Aamir, however, let sarcasm rule the day, as he shared the first look on his Twitter handle and wrote, “John Clive..not to be confused with Robert Clive..as you can see he is one of the most gentle and kind souls. Loving, caring non violent, and generous. My idol!” No surprises then that Aamir earlier described his Thugs of Hindostan character as a man with no morals who would happily sell his mother if it serves his purpose!
