Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Amitabh Bachchan's Thugs of Hindostan is touted as one of the big releases of this year. The period drama that also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh in the lead role will release on November 8 this year, that's a day after its original release date. The makers had earlier announced November 7 as the release date; however when its logo was unveiled recently, viewers realised it's 8th! What could be the reason behind this one day delay? Well, the answer is Aamir Khan! Thugs Of Hindostan: Fatima Sana Shaikh As Zafira Will Remind Us of Jennifer Lawrence From Hunger Games - View Pics

As per a report in the DNA, it was the actor who suggested this minor change that would eventually work in the movie's favour. “Aamir knows the business very well and it was he who suggested to the team to release the movie a day after Diwali. He’s well aware that the footfalls in the theatres drop considerably in the evenings on account of Lakshmi Puja. So, he strongly recommended deferring the release by a day to make sure the film gets the bumper opening it’s expected to take,” a trade source was quoted saying by the daily. Thugs of Hindostan New Teaser: Amitabh Bachchan as Khudabaksh Looks Fierce and Feisty - Watch Video

The ideology here is simple! When Aamir Khan says, you follow! There's a reason why the star is tagged as a marketing genius and his films are doing such humongous business. Apart from brilliant scripts and acting proficiency, of course, it's the actor's talent to sense business and make his films work, that do wonders for him. There's no denying that his judgment would ultimately work for TOH and a day's release means no harm anyway.
