In his next film Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir Khan will, unsurprisingly, play a goon-like character and latest photos from the film's sets confirm this.

While earlier it was said that the film and Aamir's character seems inspired by Pirates of the Carribean, fans now feel that Aamir's look is very similar to Game of Thrones character Tyrion Lannister (when he fell on harder times, that is.)

Seen in muddied clothes and matted hair, it looks like the actor is going all-out to look the part. Regardless of the inspiration behind his new look, we have to say that it's definitely piqued interest about his next performance.

He's been sporting a nosepin for some time as well.

Thugs of Hindostan is an action-adventure period film based on a mob in pre-Partition India.

It's being directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya (of Dhoom 3 fame) and stars Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh (from Dangal) in lead roles.

The movie is scheduled to release on November 7 next year.
