For her part in the upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha, Kareena Kapoor claimed that she had to give an audition. The movie, which will hit theatres on August 11, stars Aamir Khan, and Mona Singh too. The movie also has a cameo of Chaitanya Akkineni.
Forrest Gump, a 1994 Hollywood movie, has been adapted for the Hindi language remake in the Advait Chauhan-directed Laal Singh Chaddha. Tom Hanks played the title role in the original. Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios are responsible for the creation of the remake.
Asked if she agreed to be a part of the film because Aamir was in it, Kareena told Prabhat Khabar, “Aamir does not work like that. He never says do this film because I am also in it. He always says ‘listen to the story first of all’. He asked me to listen to a narration for this film as well. He gave me a four-hour-long narration and that is why I said yes to Laal Singh Chaddha.”
She added, “I had to even give an audition for Laal Singh Chaddha. It was so that I could prove I am apt for the role, and I am perfect for the older part.” The initial release date for Laal Singh Chaddha was earlier in the year. But because of a delay in the VFX work, it was postponed, preventing a clash with the Kannada blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2. The movie will now compete at the box office with Raksha Bandhan, which stars Akshay Kumar and also opens on August 11.
In addition to Laal Singh Chaddha, Kareena is currently working on a different project. The Devotion of Suspect X, a bestseller in Japan, was recently adapted into a feature film, and she recently wrapped up filming. Kareena will make her OTT debut in the Sujoy Ghosh-helmed movie. It will premiere on Netflix.
