which released last Thursday, he is satisfied with the feeling that the team has given the film its best and it has been a joyride to work on it.

He said: “We have made the film with a lot of love and effort, and we hope that you enjoy it.”

The message was a part of a lengthy post sent out on social media, where Aamir expressed gratitude to key team members – actors, producer, director and technicians – for “a wonderful journey”.

“It’s a journey which has been so special and memorable for me. Each one of you has done such a mind-blowing job, and I am so happy to be a part of this team,” Aamir wrote.

“We have no idea how successful it will be, but irrespective of the fate of the film, I want to thank you all for a very fulfilling two years. I think we can all be satisfied that we have given it our best,” the actor added.

Thugs Of Hindostan, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films, marks the first time that Aamir has worked with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Besides them, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh complete the primary cast of the period drama, which is high on action.

For Chopra, Aamir said he was “one of the finest producers” he had worked with, while for the director, popularly called Victor, he said, “Victor has always brought the best out of me as an actor”. As for Big B, Aamir said he had always been an inspiration for him.

Of his Dangal co-star Fatima, Aamir said she was “one of the finest co-stars I have ever worked with”. “Fatty, you are a star,” he added.

And Katrina is someone Aamir said he “absolutely loves”.

The actor-producer also thanked his wife, Kiran Rao.

“You have always been a pillar of strength for me. Always looking out for me. Always there. Absorbing all my eccentricities, tolerating all my madness. Thank you.” | IANS
