Laal Singh Chaddha is based on 1994 multiple Oscar-winning Hollywood classic, Forrest Gumpwhich traces the evolution of Tom Hanks‘ eponymous character through the annals of American history. Laal Singh Chaddha is expected to take a similar path and the trailer of the Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer, which dropped between the IPL 2022 final, signifies just that, with a young Aamir Khan suffering a walking impediment plus mental challenges, only to overcome the former and undertake a life-changing, cross-country marathon.
Laal Singh Chaddha vs Forrest Gump
Aamir Khan sports a Tom Hanks-esque oversized beard et al in Laal Singh Chaddha, probably just prior to running the marathon as evidenced in the Laal Singh Chaddha Trailer – yet never being able to completely break free of his psychological obstacle yet being able to achieve remarkable feats as a part of several major events throughout the course of Indian history. The similarities are obviously there with Forrest Gump, but this being Aamir, we can’t wait to see the spin he’s given the film to set it apart from the originalaal.
Laal Singh Chaddha OTT release date
A well-placed source in the industry has now exclusively apprised BollywoodLife that Laal Singh Chaddha will release digitally around the first or second week of October, a good 8-9 weeks apart from its theatrical release date as per a deal reached between the makers and exhibitors (theatre owners). What’s more, our source added that the movie is expected to not arrive on OTT before this stipulated time period regardless the fate of the Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer at the box office.
Aamir Khan’s next movies after Laal Singh Chaddha
Aamir Khan is said to have met Director Siddharth P Malhotra of Hichki fame and apparently liked one of his ideas that he bounced and seems to have asked him to develop it into a script. There’s also the official adaptation of heartwarming Spanish drama Campeones, which Aamir Khan is likely to announce after Laal Singh Chaddha’s theatrical release. Besides the two aforementioned films, the word is that Aamir Khan has also been offered a biopic on a controversial lawyer. Finally, there’s the Gulshan Kumar biopic, Moghulwhich has been on Aamir Khan’s radar for quite some time.
