Recently, there were reports that Aamir Khan was denied permission to promote his Diwali offering, Thugs Of Hindostan (TOH), in a Chinese university. However, it turns out that the superstar, who is visiting the neighbouring country for the release of the film there, was invited by the university of Guangzhou city to give a talk to its students. Previously, his Dangal and Secret Superstar have done huge business at the Chinese box office.

The authorities had made arrangements at the venue with a capacity of about 500 people. But by the time Aamir reached, there were about 3,000 people who wanted to get in. Seeing the huge crowd, the campus management panicked. And realising that their arrangements were far from adequate they decided to call off the event.

On the plus side, the event organisers arranged four times more security for the subsequent public interactions of Aamir over the next couple of days of his promotional tour in China. TOH, also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, is slated to release in China on December 28.
