NEW DELHI – A picture has been circulating the internet adding fire to the fuel that it is avatar of Amitabh Bachchan in upcoming high octane film ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ (also starring Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles).
Rumors suggested that this will be the look of Big Bachchan in the movie. However, people recognised the photograph from elsewhere.
The picture is of Shabuz, age 68, an Afghan refugee in Pakistan, taken by photographer Steve McCurry. Steve confirms the authenticity of the photograph in his Instagram: “I made this portrait of Shabuz, age 68, an Afghan refugee in Pakistan. Many Afghans use only one name.”
