But the story doesn’t end here as there’s a big twist connected with this release date. As the ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’ remake is targeted to release during Diwali, the ‘Baahubali’ actor is all set to clash with none other than Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan on the big screen. Let’s break this to you.

Many would know that Aamir and Big B are finally teaming up for the first time in period action adventure ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ which is currently on floors. And the makers of ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ have already locked the release date of this film on November 7 which also celebrates the festival of Diwali.
