For the unversed, Aamir Khan and Naga Chaitanya star as friends in the film. Laal Singh Chaddha would mark Chay’s first Bollywood project. Speaking with Film Companion, Chaitanya said, “One thing is for sure that, what I have learnt in last 12 years, I learnt from him in 45 days. He has taught me more than that. He’s got this amazing magic that he can rub off, influence people without even trying. He’s not doing that on purpose, it’s just the amount of knowledge he has, the human being that he is. He is such a lovely person.”
Laal Singh Chaddha is a Hindi remake of the Academy Award-winning 1994 American Film Forrest Gump. Laal Singh Chadha would depict several decades in the life of a slow-witted and kindhearted man who witnesses and unwittingly influence several defining historical events in 20th Century India.
Besides Aamir and Chaitanya, the film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Mona Singh in pivotal roles. Bankrolled by Aamir Khan Production and Viacom18 Studios, the film’s music has been composed by Pritam. The movie trailer that was launched at the finale of 2022 Indian Premier League on May 29 became an instant rave among fans and critics alike.
Aamir Khan was last seen in Thugs of Hindostan. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film was met with negative reviews from critics and audiences.
