‘Aamir Khan sir and I are like Amar-Prem,’ says Laal Singh Chaddha director Advait Chandan amidst fallout rumours

Aamir Khan put his heart and soul into remaking the 1994 Oscar winning classic, Tom Hank’s Forrest Gump, into Laal Singh Chaddha. The film released this August after a long wait and many delays owing to the pandemic amidst much expectations of a revival for Hindi films at the box office. However, unfortunately the film got mixed reviews critically and it underperformed commercially as well. The film, directed by Advait Chandan, was released alongside Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan and both films failed to perform at the box office.

Starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya, Laal Singh Chaddha was one of the biggest releases of the year. However, when it failed to impress the audience, reports started doing rounds that Aamir was upset with his director, and the duo are not on good terms anymore. Laal Singh Chaddha wasn’t the first film Advait directed for Aamir as previously, they worked together on Secret Superstar which emerged as a critical and commercial hit.

Today, the director finally broke silence on all the fallout rumours as he took to Instagram to share a photo of him and Aamir from a beach, beside a surfboard. Along with it, he wrote, “Guys, for all those talking about a fall out between Aamir sir and me, I just want to say that we are like Genie and Aladin, Baloo and Mowgli, Amar and Prem. (sic)”.

It’s great to see that there isn’t any bad blood between Aamir and Advait and the references that the director has given to define their friendship are beyond cute. For now, there has been no official confirmation on either Aamir or Advait’s next project, but it would really be interesting to see the two reunite for another feature.
