Aamir Khan remade the Hollywood blockbuster Forrest Gump in Hindi. The film is called Lal Singh Chaddha. Kareena Kapoor Khan played the female lead, and Naag Chaitanya Akkineni was also in a particular role. However, the film failed at the box office, and Aamir decoded the reason behind its failure in a recent interview.
“When a film goes wrong, you try and understand what went wrong. When I sat down and thought about it, I felt like Forrest Gump, as a piece of writing, does not necessarily fall into the rules. The film does not follow the mainstream writing rules. The premise is the question which gives answers for you,” The iconic actor said.
“The story moves episodically. It is not streamlined in that sense. And your main plot gets over, and the film continues for 15-20 minutes afterward. The main plot is that he wants to marry the heroine from age 8, and when they finally get married, the film’s main goal is over. But the film continues for 15-20 minutes after that. These things don’t make up a mainstream kind of film.” he said.
