Thugs of Hindostan: Not Aamir or Katrina, team surprises, unveils this actor's look
New Delhi: Keeping up with the innovative style of introducing the primary characters of their much-anticipated film 'Thugs of Hindostan', the makers have now revealed the look of the film's antagonist.
Meet Lord John Clive, the highly manipulative and cruel commander of the East India Company. Played by British actor Llyod Owen, the character will be the face of the British Raj in India and a symbol of cold, evil ambitions.
In the motion poster, Owen can be seen at his dominating best sitting on what appears to be a throne. He is dressed in a white military jacket with golden embroidery and shoulder embellishments, paired with white pants. The look of the evil villain was completed with a pair of knee-high boots and a thick imperial moustache.
John Clive..not to be confused with Robert Clive..as you can see he is one of the most gentle and kind souls. Loving, caring non violent, and generous. My idol! #JohnClive #ThugsOfHindostan | @yrf | @TOHtheFilm @SrBachchan @fattysanashaikh #KatrinaKaif pic.twitter.com/GBS9XgveEQ
