Aamir Khan On His Lal Singh Chaddha Character: “You’d Fall In Love With Him Straight Away”

Post the debacle of Thugs Of Hindostan, Aamir Khan next project Lal Singh Chaddha was a hot topic of discussion. He announced that he will be a part of the Hindi remake of Hollywood hit film Forrest Gump and set his fans in frenzy. The actor is looking forward to the film and pretty excited about it.

Earlier, Aamir revealed that he had waited for eight longs years to make this film happen! He told, “I’ve been after this film for the last eight years, so I’m thrilled it’s finally happening.” Aamir, who is known to get into a character deeply, has been working hard to step into the shoes of Tom Hanks now. He even gained 20 Kgs to look more authentic and convincing as Lal Singh Chaddha.

Now, Aamir has revealed some major details about his character in the film. Talking to Hindustan Times, the actor revealed, “Atul Kulkarni has done the adaptation and he has made him a Sardaar (Sikh guy), that’s why I’m growing my beard. So far, I’m happy with the script; we start shooting on November 1. Hopefully, we’d be able to execute it well.

He further said, “This character is very lovable. He’s so innocent… he has got this different way of looking at things. He’s someone you immediately empathize with when you connect. Unless I perform it badly (laughs), then it’s a different game. As a written character, it’s such that you’d fall in love with him straight away.”
