Aamir Khan said his film 'Thugs of Hindostan' has a "very normal story” and follows a formula similar to Sholay. "In Sholay, you've Thakur (Sanjeev Kumar), who needs to take revenge for his family being wiped out,” Aamir added. "Over here, it’s Zafira (Fatima Sana Shaikh) whose family gets wiped out. She needs help...and Firangi (Aamir) comes in," he stated.
