'Can't be a fanboy on sets while directing Aamir, Big B'

Entertainment, Pollywood

Mumbai: Vijay Krishna Acharya has made possible the first collaboration between Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan for his next "Thugs of Hindostan", but the filmmaker says he cannot afford to be a fanboy while he is directing the two stars.

Bachchan, 75, and Aamir will share the screen space for the first time in the period-action-adventure, slated to hit the screens next Diwali. The director says he does not fall into the trap of liking or respecting one actor over the other.
