Laal Singh Chaddha’s trailer evokes warmth and love with its extraordinary story
The much-awaited trailer of Laal Singh Chaddha was dropped during the second timeout of the first innings of the IPL Finale last evening. It was indeed a momentous occasion as no other film had ever had such a unique trailer release earlier.
The Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer is the Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. The plot of the film revolves around a simple man who had an extraordinary life. The highlight of the trailer is glimpses of Aamir, who is introduced as a disabled man. His mother, played by Mona Singh, is a light in his life, convincing him that he is just as good as the rest of them. The touching relationship between mother and son touches your heart.
It’s nice to see Kareena Kapoor Khan onscreen after a long time. Though not much is known about her character, her chemistry with Aamir Khan is appealing. The excellent background score has already gained popularity on the internet.
Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Kareena revealed that she was pregnant with Jeh during the making of the film that was shot through the pandemic. Kareena wrote, “A pandemic, two lockdowns, and a baby later… one of my most special films… also because my Jeh baba is very much a part of it (in my tummy). Thank you Advait and Aamir for having not just me but the both of us in it… it’s something I will cherish forever. Over to you guys, finally… #LaalSinghChaddha”.
An official adaptation of Tom Hanks-starrer Forest Gump, the film also stars Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya. While Kareena plays Laal Singh’s onscreen love interest, Mona Singh plays his mother and Naga Chaitanya plays his friend. The original screenplay has been adapted by actor Atul Kulkarni.
Speaking about being a part of the much-awaited movie and things he learned from Aamir Khan, Naga Chaitanya said in an interview, “One thing is for sure that, what I have learnt in last 12 years, I learnt from him in 45 days. He has taught me more than that. He’s got this amazing magic that he can rub off, influence people without even trying.”
According to the Telugu star, who makes his Bollywood debut with Laal Singh Chaddha, pointed out at Aamir’s dedication towards cinema and the craft. “At first, he is an actor, but he is in-tuned with craft as much as he with acting, and that’s amazing,” Naga said.
“He is always chasing content. He always talks about content first. He doesn’t talk about (box office) numbers or packaging. All that comes in the end, but as they’re filming, and till they finish filming, he is only chasing the content, and he’s been true to that,” Naga added.
Releasing on August 11, the film promises to be a classic Bollywood drama with the right amount of love, emotions, and warmth imbued in it.
