Laal Singh Chaddha: Acquiring 'Forrest Gump' rights took Aamir Khan 10 years

The trailer of Aamir Khan's much-awaited 'Laal Singh Chaddha' has been released and the audience is completely in love with it.

Not many people are aware that 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is Aamir's labour of love and persistence and the actor has given his heart and soul to the film. The production of the film was never time-bound and the makers gave the film a free space to grow, thrive, press, and bend.

Now that 14 years have passed and the film has surpassed the test of time, it is ready to serve its audience.

Back in 2008, Atul Kulkarni proposed an Indian adaptation of 'Forrest Gump', ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, to Aamir Khan and that was when the first thought of the film was seeded. Post that, Aamir approached the makers of ‘Forrest Gump’ to acquire the rights to the film, which itself was a decade-long process. After that, the trauma of the pandemic took a toll on the film and it got delayed. While time tested Aamir, his patience became his only pursuit which helped him complete the film despite the long-standing wait of 14 years.

Nevertheless, the trailer of 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is finally here and the audience is completely gushing over it. Aamir's love and loyalty for his craft were put to test while producing the entire film and it seems to not stop anytime soon.

'Laal Singh Chaddha', produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios, also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni. The film will hit the theatres on August 11, 2022.
