Up for some Bollywood news? Aamir Khan Productions releases its newest film Laal Singh Chaddha on August 11, 2022. The 2022 Hindi Indian language comedy-drama film is from Eric Roth’s screenplay. Laal Singh Chaddha is produced by Viacom18 Studios, Kiran Rao, directed by Advait Chandan, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. However, it circulates hate and boycott attempts before its release date as it allegedly copies Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump.
The film centers around the “extraordinary adventure of a simple man”. If you are familiar with the 1994’s Oscar-winning Best Picture, Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha may be close to your liking too. The Hindi Indian film is a remake of the famous Tom Hanks film, and it leads to netizens disliking the thought of it. Additionally, you can watch the emotional official trailer here. Thoughts?
