We are all terribly excited about Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. But the superstar has given us even more to be excited about. The multi-starrer, which releases this Diwali, is going to be released in IMAX for an unprecedented immersive movie experience. The film will release in 17 IMAX screens across the country, the advance bookings for which will open on Friday, 2 November. The advance booking at plexes and single screens will start on Saturday, 3 November.
IMAX Corporation (NYSE:IMAX) earlier announced that Yash Raj Films’ Thugs of Hindostan will be digitally re-mastered in the immersive IMAX format and released in IMAX® theatres in India and select international markets.
Aamir Khan himself shares in the video how he first watched a movie in IMAX in Sydney and has since then loved it. He is as excited as the audience to watch Thugs in IMAX.
