'Naa main uska baap hoon...', Aamir Khan breaks silence on his rumoured relationship with co-actress, she is...
Recently, during an interview session with Lallantop, the actor had revealed that many A-list actresses, including Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt, had refused this project of Yash Raj Films. Later, producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya decided to cast Fatima Sana Shaikh in the film. For the unversed, Fatima Sana Shaikh, who played the role of Aamir Khan's daughter in Nitesh Tiwari's blockbuster 'Dangal', was seen in the role of Aamir Khan's lover in the film Thugs of Hindostan. The Director Refused To Film Love Angle
Aamir Khan further told that the director said, 'We will not make any romantic track between you and her because she was your daughter in 'Dangal'. How can she play the role of your girlfriend here? The audience will reject it.' To which Aamir replied, 'main in sab baaton par vishvaas nahin karta. main vaastav men uska pitaa nahin hoon, na hi main vaastav men uska premi hoon. hum ek film banaa rahe hain bhai.'
Aamir further cited the example of veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Waheeda Rehman, who have played mother-son and lover in films. He also said, 'The audience is not so stupid that they will mistake him for a real father. If we say so, then we are underestimating our audience.' More About Thugs Of Hindostan
Thugs of Hindostan was released on November 8, 2018, coinciding with the Diwali festival, and it faced negative reviews from critics. The film earned Rs 335 crore ($45 million) globally at the box office. It premiered in China on December 28, 2018, featuring a special edition edited by Aamir Khan, which had a shorter runtime than the original.
Globally, the film made between Rs 202.38 crore ($27.31 million) and Rs 211.98 crore ($29 million) during its opening weekend, and it earned Rs 238.4 crore ($32 million) in its first week. By November 26, 2018, the film had grossed Rs262.8 crore ($35.47 million) worldwide.
As of December 31, 2018, Thugs of Hindostan had grossed Rs 320 crore ($43 million) at the global box office. However, the box office revenue fell sharply after the poor reviews, and the film only made Rs 145 crore in India after 11 days. This led to significant losses for theater owners, who requested refunds from the sub-distributor of Yash Raj Films.

‘I was worried about doing Deepika Padukone's mehendi in cold Lake Como, Ranveer Singh came and lit up the room': Artiste recalls how Ranveer ‘changed the mood'
Celebrity weddings are always a massive event, with hundreds of backstories, a star-studded guest list, and an affair for which every stop is pulled. While many stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt decided to get married quietly and announce the union to the world later, there are stars like Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, who went all out for their big day. The couple got married in 2018, at the scenic Lake Como in Italy, and the mehendi artist who made the designs for the ceremony recently talked about the magical 5 days that she experienced while working for the couple. The prime choice for Bollywood and high-profile weddings Veena Nagda has been in the business for quite some time and has had some very interesting clients over the years. Talking to Filmibeat Prime about the Ranveer-Deepika wedding, she told the story of how that gig came to be and how Deepika kept a very valuable promise she had made to her 5 years prior. She said, 'During Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, I had done the mehendi art for Deepika, and she liked it so much that she promised to hire me for her own marriage. She kept that promise, and her staff contacted me before her wedding to Ranveer. They told me that booking arrangements had been made for all 5 days, and I asked them, 'The mehendi ceremony is just one day, so why am I staying for all 5?' But they told me that the booking is for all 5 days, and because of that, I and my team travelled to Milan, and we even saw Switzerland. I can never forget that experience.' ALSO READ: This actor debuted with Deepika Padukone, married and became a parent the same year, but film success eluded her After talking about the bride, she shifted her focus to the groom and described Ranveer like a ray of sunshine, who brought laughter and warmth with him every time he entered a room. 'No words can do him justice. It was very cold in Lake Como, and I was wondering how Deepika and I were going to get through the intricate design we had planned for her. Ranveer came around after an hour, and the entire climate changed. The sun came out, and he really lit up the room. He was joking and laughing with everyone, and he addressed me personally while I was doing Deepika's mehendi and said, 'A queen is doing the mehendi for another queen.' I will never forget those words. He got Deepika's name in the mehendi but used only 'Deep' and three more stars. One for her, a second for her mother and a third for her sister,' said Veena. Being the go-to mehendi artist for the entire film industry, Veena was asked about how much she charges, but the artist kept her cards pretty close to her chest and just said, 'The payment depends on a lot of varying factors, the size of the design, and specifications given by the bride. Customised designs are a bit more costly, but they are usually under Rs 1 lakh.'
