Laal Singh Chaddha: Here’s why Vijay Sethupathi walked out of Aamir Khan starrer

Aamir Khan has been shooting for his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. The Advait Chandan directorial is the official Hindi adaptation of Hollywood’s critically acclaimed film Forrest Gump.

Recently, rumours of south superstar Vijay Sethupathi coming on board for Laal Singh Chaddha were rife. However, later reports suggested that Vijay has quit the film. Now putting all speculations to rest, the Super Deluxe actor has finally revealed why he had to walk out of Laal Singh Chaddha.

There were speculations that Vijay had to quit the Aamir Khan starrer because he was asked to lose weight. Clearing the air about these speculations, Vijay told The News Minute, “I am very comfortable with my body and my mind. Whatever project I go into, they go with me.”

Further the actor revealed how Aamir had personally offered him the film. The Mr. Perfectionist had flown down to Tamil Nadu to personally narrate the script to Vijay. The Master actor fell in love with the story and immediately agreed to come on board. However, things didn’t go as planned thanks to Covid-19.

Finally revealing why he had to quit Laal Singh Chaddha, Vijay said, “Then COVID happened. It ransacked all our plans. After the lockdown, I had five Telugu projects in various stages of production to complete. I just couldn’t accommodate Lal Singh Chadha in my schedule.”

Despite the lost opportunity to work with Aamir, Vijay is hopeful that someday they might collaborate for a film. “When I went to Mumbai, Aamir sir invited me to his house. He was the perfect host, not just once but twice. I can never forget his kindness and his knowledge in cinema. It would be an honour and a pleasure to work with him sometime in the near future, ” Vijay told the portal. Even we would love to watch these two powerhouse performers share screen space someday. Don’t you guys agree?
