Amitabh
Bachchan
said
he
broke
several
bones
shooting
for
action
sequences
in
Thugs
of
Hindostan,
but
he
went
with
the
flow
to
honour
director
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya's
wishes.
In
March,
his
co-star
Aamir
Khan
revealed
that
the
mega
star
had
suffered
a
shoulder
and
back
injury.
Big
B
said,
"It
is
not
my
age
to
do
all
this
but
our
director
asked
us
to
do
so
I
did
it.
There
is
no
part
of
the
body
that
has
not
been
broken
and
there
is
no
doctor
that
I
haven't
met.
There
is
not
much
improvement."
The
actor
added
that
shooting
for
the
action
sequences
in
the
rains
added
to
his
woes.
"Had
they
made
me
wear
normal
clothes,
it
would
have
been
easier
but
I
was
made
to
wear
armour.
They
made
me
wear
leather
clothes
and
it
was
so
heavy,
it
was
about
30-40
kg,
then
they
gave
me
a
sword,
turban
and
long
hair.
It
took
three
hours
for
me
to
get
ready.
The
most
dangerous
part
was
all
the
action
sequences
were
shot
in
rains
due
to
which
the
clothes
got
all
the
more
heavy,"
said
Big
B.
VFX
Has
Made
Actors'
Life
Difficult,
Says
Amitabh
Bachchan
Contrary
to
popular
view,
Amitabh
Bachchan
believes
technological
advancement
has
made
the
job
of
an
actor
more
difficult.
"After
technology
has
become
advanced,
people
rather
look
more
into
detailing.
We
have
to
work
harder.
Don't
think
because
of
technology
our
work
has
become
easy.
To
some
extent
visually,
it
has
become
a
lot
more
presentable.
But
in
the
old
days,
we
chose
large
locations,
shot
at
the
location
and
everything
was
done
immediately."
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
Being
Compared
To
Pirates
Of
The
Caribbean
There
were
reports
that
Thugs
of
Hindostan
is
based
on
Philip
Meadows
Taylor's
1839
novel
Confessions
of
a
Thug.
The
film
was
also
compared
to
the
Hollywood
blockbuster
The
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
series.
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya
Says
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
Is
Not
A
Copy
From
Any
Novel
Or
Movie!
Director
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya
rubbished
the
rumours
by
saying,
"It
is
not
based
on
any
novel.
It
is
called
'Thugs..' so
maybe
people
felt
it
is
related
to
a
book
that
came
on
thugs.
But
it
is
not.
Whenever
we
have
made
period
films,
we
have
made
it
very
reverential.
I
felt
maybe
we
make
a
little
irrelevant
film
in
which
there
is
a
character
who
is
not
noble
and
that
might
be
interesting.
It
is
hard
to
get
people
come
to
theatres
and
they
might
come
in
if
there
is
some
spectacle."
Aamir
Khan
On
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
Being
Compared
To
The
Pirates
of
The
Caribbean
On
Thugs
of
Hindostan
being
compared
to
The
Pirates
of
The
Caribbean,
Aamir
Khan
opened
up
by
saying,
"It
is
an
action-adventure
film
so
in
that
case
the
genre
is
similar
to
Pirates....
But
story-wise,
there
is
no
similarity
between
the
two
films."
