Aamir Khan is currently filming Yash Raj Films' Thugs Of Hindostan, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif. The film reunites Aamir and his Dhoom: 3 director Vijay Krishna Acharya. "The problem with swine flu is if I go anywhere, I will give it to other people so we have been forced to stay at home for a week. And that is why we can't be there with you and we're very sad about it," added Kiran Rao, who is the producer of upcoming film Secret Superstar featuring Aamir Khan.

The other guests who attended Satyamev Jayate Water Cup were Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Nita Ambani, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Ashutosh Gowariker, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Ram Madhvani and Nagraj Man Jule.
