Laal Singh Chaddha's much awaited premiere was held yesterday night in Hyderabad. Lead actors Aamir Khan and Naga Chaitanya came at the function together and were all smiles. They were joined at the occasion by Megastar Chiranjeevi, who is launching the Telugu version of the movie.
As the Acharya star got out of the car, the crowd went wild. Laal Singh Chaddha, which is set to open in theaters on August 11 this year, also has Kareena Kapoor Khan as the lead actress. The project, directed by Advait Chandan, is a remake of the 1994 American movie Forrest Gump, which was similarly based on the 1986 book of the same name by Winston Groom.
Tanuj Tiku composed the music for the drama, which was produced by Aamir Khan Productions in collaboration with Viacom18 Studios. Hemanti Sarkar handled the editing while Satyajit Pande handled the camerawork.
Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya discussed filling in for Vijay Sethupathi in the film, saying, "I was only told that there were some date complications, and that's why the project didn't work out with Vijay sir." He added, But yea, that was never really the concern because from the time I came in, the character was designed completely around the sensibilities of where I come from. Like it’s a Telugu boy from Andhra, and even the diction, the Hindi has a few Telugu speaking words here and there you know to make it look very organic. All these aspects made me feel very comfortable. But yea, with Vijay sir, we never really overlapped anywhere, and there was no discussion on it.”
