After introducing the ‘thugs’ of ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, Amitabh Bachchan as Khudabaksh and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Zafira, the makers of the film have now introduced the villain of the epic drama- John Clive played by British actor Lloyd Owen. In the motion poster, the character can be seen leading the British Army and ordering them to fire. John Clive comes across as ruthless and his piercing eyes command authority. His look was completed with a pair of knee-high boots and a moustache. Aamir Khan shared the motion poster on Twitter with the caption, ‘’ 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.’’ And it’s quite obvious John Clive is not all loving or generous.
