Thugs Of Hindostan First Look: World, Meet Villain John Clive, Aamir Khans Idol
John Clive is commander of East India Company forces and cold-bloodedly ruthless.
New Delhi (Online) - Introducing John Clive, ‘loving, caring, non-violent, generous’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘idol.’ Aamir’s words, not ours - but he’s just kidding, guys! Sarcasm alert.
Lord John Clive - not to be confused with the real life Robert Clive in any way - is the latest Thugs Of Hindostan character to be introduced and, as the villain of the piece, he is the exact opposite of all of the above. In fact, John Clive is commander of the East India Company forces and, as is evident from his order to his troops to fire, he is as cold-bloodedly ruthless as Lagaan’s Captain Andrew Russell and far deadlier, given the firepower under his command.
Here’s Aamir Khan’s post introducing John Clive, played by British actor Lloyd Owen.
