Aamir Khan admits he was unhappy with 'Thugs of Hindostan'

Aamir Khan recently reflected on the disappointing outcome of his 2018 movie 'Thugs of Hindostan', which also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. He confessed that he had anticipated the film’s failure, as he personally didn’t enjoy the project and lacked confidence for its release.Candid ConfessionDuring his appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, Aamir openly admitted, "Mujhe bhi Thugs of Hindostan pasand nahi thi. Aaj main khulke bol sakta hoon — Aditya Chopra (producer) se maine bohot koshish ki unko... Jab film release ho rahi thi, main khud hi khush nahi tha. Kiran Rao (ex-wife) ko pata hai, jab meri film release aati hai, main do mahine tak so nahi pata, mera mind overtime chalta hai." He revealed that he never truly liked the film and struggled with anxiety around its release, despite trying hard to convince the producer.Unusual Calmness During ReleaseKhan revealed that before most of his film releases, he often struggles with insomnia due to his mind being overwhelmed with thoughts about the movie. Interestingly, when 'Thugs of Hindostan' was released, he felt unusually relaxed and was able to sleep soundly.He revealed, "Kiran (Rao) ne mujhe bola, 'Release nazdeek aa rahi hai, aur tum itminaan se so rahe ho? Chakkar kya hai?’ Maine usse kaha, 'Kiran, mujhe pata hai yeh film nahi chalne wali.

Mere andar na excitement hai, na anticipation ki log film dekhenge. Mera dil baith gaya hai ki log yeh film dekhenge. Main khud hi film se khush nahi hoon. Lekin jab producer aur director khush hain, toh main kya kar sakta hoon?'".Confidence of Producer and DirectorFurther, Aamir also admitted that he was absolutely sure the film wouldn’t succeed. He mentioned that he shared his worries with producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya, but both remained highly confident about 'Thugs of Hindostan'.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged that he couldn’t fault them for trusting the project.
