Naga Chaitanya said yes to Laal Singh Chaddha for opportunity to share screen with Aamir; calls latter ‘meticulous’

Laal Singh Chaddha is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of Bollywood. The comedy drama, which is an official remake of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump , brings Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aamir Khan back together on-screen after super hit films like 3 Idiots and Talaash. But that’s not the only reason why fans are eagerly waiting for this movie. Another major reason is that Laal Singh Chaddha marks South superstar Naga Chaitanya’s debut in the Hindi film industry. The actor will be seen as Aamir aka Chaddha’s friend from the army.

In a recent chat with Hyderabad Times, Chaitanya revealed that growing up he remembers watching Forrest Gump and loving it. Never did he think that he would one day act in the film’s adaptation. Talking about his co-star Aamir, the actor shared, “One of the reasons I said yes to this project is for the opportunity to share screen with Aamir and learn from him. He’s very meticulous on sets and it was great fun to work with him. We also had to work in tough conditions that men in uniform face. The production team had to create a path for us as there was no road near where we were shooting. It was a magical experience.”

Naga Chaitanya also opened up about his character, who apparently wants to get into shrimping business in the film. The actor shared that the role was challenging but he had a great time playing it. He revealed that the team shot in extreme weather conditions at Kargil for 45 long days. But he added that the experience was memorable. Well, we can’t wait to see Aamir and Chaitanya together on the big screen for the very first time when their film premieres in theatres on 14thApril.
