As
crazy
as
it
might
sound,
two
massive
ships
have
been
built
weighing
2
Lakh
kilos
each,
for
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Aamir
Khan
starrer
Thugs
Of
Hindostan,
and
the
ships
were
sailed
in
the
tiny
island
of
Malta,
Europe.
It
took
over
a
year
to
construct
the
larger
than
life
ship
and
the
film-makers
have
gone
out
of
their
way
to
bring
a
grand
spectacle
which
is
going
the
leave
the
audiences
mesmerised.
It
is
reported
that
over
1000
people
were
involved
in
constructing
the
ships
that
include
international
designers
and
ship
makers.
"Since
sea
and
ships
play
an
integral
part
in
the
plot,
Aamir
as
well
as
(producer)
Aditya
Chopra
were
sure
that
they
would
go
all
out
to
present
the
biggest
spectacle
that
Hindi
cinema
has
ever
witnessed.
The
film's
budgets
are
yet
to
be
ascertained,
but
the
cost
for
the
two
ships
easily
runs
into
several
crores,"
a
source
said
to
HT.
The
source
further
commented,
"It
took
over
a
year
to
build
these
two
ships
off
the
coast
of
Malta
(in
Europe).
Director
Viktor
(Vijay
Krishna
Acharya)
wanted
to
go
the
whole
hog
in
terms
of
scale
and
create
a
huge
visual
experience.
Authenticity
and
aesthetics
have
both
been
kept
in
mind
given
the
fact
that
it's
a
period
film."
