The actor said production of Laal Singh Chaddha was hit due to the coronavirus pandemic, with even the film’s release being pushed several times. Khan, who had also contracted COVID-19, said dealing with the pandemic was a unique phase.
“We hadn’t expected it or faced this before. We all were trying to deal with it. Laal Singh Chaddha happened during that time. We have done our best. In a creative work, you work with all your emotions with your team.”
The Lagaan actor added, “When that is interrupted, right when you’re ready to go with all your emotions, it’s very difficult. Not just us, everyone in filmmaking had to pause that process, hold their emotions. That was difficult but we tried to do our best in that.”
It is rumoured that Khan is in talks to headline a new project, which would be helmed by Shubh Mangal Saavdhan director RS Prasanna. When asked for an update on the film, the actor said, “I haven’t announced my next film yet, how did you get to know? Planning is on, I’ll let you know soon.”
