Yash Raj Films released the first look poster of Aamir Khan ’s character in the upcoming period drama Thugs of Hindostan and it is almost close to Johnny Depp ’s Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Twitterati also seem to be of the same opinion.
A child can see similarity between Aamir Khan's character in #ThugsOfHindostan and Jack Sparrow. Excitement gone kaboom. Another copy or as they say 'inspired'.

Some even went on to call him ‘gareebon ka Jack Sparrow’, or the poor man’s Jack Sparrow.

A user even compared the character poster of Fatima Sana Shaikh to that of Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games.

Thugs of Hindostan has been directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. The film is based on Philip Meadows Taylor’s 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug, which deals with a bandit called Ameer Ali, whose gang of thugs posed a dangerous challenge to the British Empire in India during the early 1800s. It is scheduled to release in cinemas on 8 November.
