Laal Singh Chadha

Laal Singh Chaddha was the Indian adaptation of Forrest Gump, starring Aamir and Kareena. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film was mired in controversy amid calls for a boycott. Later after its release, it did not perform well at the box office. By the first month of its release, the film had done business ₹130 crore at the worldwide box office and later landed on Netflix.

Kiara to Laal Singh Chaddha

During an interview with Film Companion, Kiara Advani was asked if she is ready to audition for a role like Kareena who auditioned for Laal Singh Chaddha. Kiara said, “Yes, absolutely. In fact, I also auditioned for Laal Singh Chaddha. At that time I did not know it was for Laal Singh Chaddha.’ “I really don’t want to see this audition. I really must have been terrible. It was many, many years ago,” he added.

Kiara continued, “Casting is such an important part of filmmaking. The right cast can add so much value. It’s not about who is the better actor. It’s about who is best suited for the part. It’s always a team effort and it’s so important to have the right cast for a film. It’s great to audition, great to know if you’re right for the part.” Kareena Kapoor had told Prabhat Khabar, “I had to audition for Laal Singh Chaddha. It was so I could prove that I’m right for the role and I’m perfect for the older part.”

Meanwhile, the Hindustan Times review for Laal Singh Chaddha read, “A formal adaptation of the internationally acclaimed Forrest Gump (1994) starring Tom Hanks, Laal Singh Chaddha is a feel-good film that says nothing remarkably different or in an extraordinary way that you stand up and applaud. It doesn’t even try to introduce elements that would make it look somehow different.”
