‘Lal Singh Chaddha’: Aamir Khan is thrilled to finally make the ‘Forrest Gump’ remake after eight years

Aamir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ has been in the headlines ever since it was announced on the actor’s birthday. Not only his fans but even Aamir himself is very excited about this film. With all the hype around the project, the excitement of fans to watch the film has just doubled.

“I’ve been after this film for the last eight years, so I’m thrilled it’s finally happening,” said Aamir when asked about how he felt about making an adaptation of ‘Forrest Gump’.

Recently when the actor was asked if he would like to go a little easy on depicting the look of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’s character, he replied, “Each time you have to not just be the character but look like that, too. In this case, I feel Lal Singh is a character — bodily and physically speaking — I see him as a lean person throughout the film, who is not exceptionally muscular. That’s how I’m hoping to project it. And I’d be speaking Punjabi in the film that I’ve just started learning.”

‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ is expected to be shot in 100 different locations across the country one of which is the state of Punjab. It would be the actor’s third film to be shot in Punjab post ‘Dangal’ and ‘Rang De Basanti’. Further, the film brings together Aamir and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The chemistry between the stars was hugely applauded in their last film ‘3 Idiots’.

Written by Atul Kulkarni and helmed by Advait Chandan, the film is produced by Viacom18 Studios and Aamir Khan Productions. It is slated to hit the theatres during Christmas 2020.
