Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan starrer high octane action adventure has disappointed critics and fans alike. Shah Rukh Khan shares a great bond with Aamir Khan, and recently in an interview with The Telegraph, he expressed that the debacle of Thugs of Hindostan has deeply saddened him. He also said that people have been little too harsh with the film.

Venting out his feeling about it, Shah Rukh Khan said, "It's a little personal and I don't know whether it's right to say it or not. This is something that's saddened me and so I want to share it. When it happened to me personally, I wasn't so sad, but this time I am. There are people who have given excellence to cinema for years. A film can be good, a film can be bad; none of us can ever claim ki maine duniya ki sabsi achchi film banayi hain. Mr Bachchan and Aamir have been people who have constantly contributed to the excellence of cinema."
