Laal Singh Chaddha has been helmed by Advait Chandan. He made his directorial debut with the 2017 musical drama Secret Superstar, starring Aamir and Zaira Wasim.
Atul Kulkarni shares the screenplay credit for Laal Singh Chaddha along with Eric Roth, who had adapted the 1986 novel for the Hanks’ movie.
Forrest Gump chronicled the life story of the titular protagonist, a slow-witted but kindhearted man from Alabama. The movie had won six Academy Awards, including ‘Best Picture’, ‘Best Actor’ for Hanks and best director for Robert Zemeckis.
Laal Singh Chaddha is scheduled to be released on Christmas this year. Provided of course the pandemic again doesn’t hit the country with its third wave.
