Laal Singh Chaddha: Aamir Khan Returns To Mumbai After Zeroing In Locations In Ladakh

Aamir Khan had announced Laal Singh Chaddha quite some time back. The film was supposed to hit the theatres on Christmas 2020, but missed the mark due to the pandemic. In fact, an important portion of the film is yet to be shot. We are talking about the war sequence. Some weeks back, Aamir Khan had left for Ladakh with a four member team. They had been hunting for locations to shoot the war sequence in the film. Now, the actor has returned to Mumbai after finishing the work and get back to shoot when the situation gets a little better.

According to a report in Mid Day, Parvez Shaikh would be designing the sequence. Sheikh had been earlier associated with War. A source also added, “With the movie examining India’s political and cultural milestones through the lens of the protagonist, the Kargil War will form a crucial part of the narrative. Aamir and Advait [Chandan, director] have envisioned a grand battlefield scene, complete with massive infantry. If things go as per plan, the production team will hire locals for the sequence. The unit will be put up at The Grand Dragon hotel in Ladakh in a bio-bubble. Advait has charted out a tentative month-long schedule, and intends to head to the northern region as soon as the situation in the country stabilises.”

Naga Chaitanya would be a part of this war sequence too. The source added, “Chaitanya will join Aamir in the upcoming leg.” It is also being reported that after wrapping up this schedule in Ladakh, Aami would have to shoot the cameo scenes with Salman Khan after which the team can wrap the film.
