Actor Aamir Khan on Friday introduced Katrina Kaif as Suraiyya Jaan of Thugs of Hindostan, an outrageously beautiful performer in the film, scheduled to release on 8 November.
Taking to Twitter, Aamir wrote in Hindi, “Suraiyya Jaan…. The most beautiful thug. I’ve had a crush on her since Dhoom 3. But I could never muster courage to express my feelings for her. I shall very grateful if soneone can convey my feelings to her.”
सुरैया जान…. सबसे खूबसूरत ठग ! धूम ३ के वक़्त से मेरा दिल इनपे आया हुआ है… पर कहने की हिम्मत कभी नहीं हुई. कोई अगर इन्हें ये बता दे तो बड़ी मेहेरबानी होगी 😉#ThugsOfHindostan | @yrf | @TOHtheFilm | @SrBachchan | @fattysanashaikh | #KatrinaKaif https://t.co/wCEgwWUb2P

The Yash Raj Films production is being helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who directed Katrina and Aamir in “Dhoom: 3”. It is an adaptation of the 1839 novel “Confessions of a Thug”.
Aamir had earlier introduced the motion posters of Amitabh Bachchan as Khudabaksh, Fatima Sana Shaikh as Zafira and Llyod Owen as John Clive.
