kareena kapoor, laal singh chaddha, aamir khan, kareena kapoor interview

Laal Singh Chaddha marks Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan’s third movie together after 3 Idiots and Talaash. The actress, in an interview with PTI, said that she had a memorable experience while working in Laal Singh Chaddha with one of her most favourite co-stars. She said that everyone in the team, especially Aamir, has gone through a lot in the past two years during the making of the movie.

It’s very special and we have worked very hard. Especially Aamir, he has gone through a lot. It’s a brilliant script and I’m hoping it will come on the screen the same way and everyone is going to like it,” the actor told PTI. She added, “We finished my portions during the COVID wave in Delhi. That was the first time I went on a set amid the pandemic and we followed all the protocols. It gave me the confidence that I can actually do really well when shooting films with fewer people.”

She also revealed that she was five months pregnant with her second son Jeh when she shot her major portions for the film. Kareena also expressed that working with lesser people on set turns out to be more productive. For the unversed, Laal Singh Chaddha is the official remake of Tom Hanks’ Hollywood blockbuster ‘Forrest Gump’. Advait Chandan, who made his directorial debut with the 2017 musical drama Secret Superstar, has directed the movie.


Actor-writer Atul Kulkarni shares the screenplay credit for the film along with Eric Roth, who had adapted the 1986 Winston Groom novel of the same name for Tom Hanks’ 1994 classic movie. The movie is bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, Viacom18 Studios and Paramount Pictures. The highly anticipated drama is all set to release on Valentine’s Day next year. The film, also starring Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh, was earlier slated for a Christmas 2021 premiere.
