Now this would be one casting coup for director Vijay Krishna Acharya who will be seen at the helm of affairs of Yash Raj Film’s next ‘Thug’. The  reports hint that actors Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone might just romance each other in Yash Raj Films` biggie. Interestingly, it was Hrithik Roshan who was earlier cast to play the lead in the film opposite Deepika, however, after Hrithik opted out of the film, there have been  news reports claiming that Aamir will most likely come on board. This is to recall that  Aamir had earlier worked with director Vijay Krishna Acharya in YRF`s  `Dhoom 3` And now, ‘Thug’ will be his second film with the director and third with the prestigious production house, apart from being a first opposite Deepika Padukone! Incidentally, Aamir will again be seen playing a thief in the film after `Dhoom 3`.
