Laal Singh Chaddha | Aamir Khan is a cinematic genius: Kareena Kapoor
Ahead of the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha, Kareena Kapoor Khan said Aamir Khan is a cinematic genius and that it was an ‘honour' for her to work with him.
Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan might not have worked together in full-fledged romantic films, but their chemistry always left an impact in the minds of the audiences. While 3 Idiots was more of a campus comedy-drama where their love story was a small part of the plot, Talaash too revolved around a murder mystery, where their brief interactions had taken the story forward. As the duo seek to make a hat-trick of their films, with Laal Singh Chadha, an official adaptation of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, they once again would intend to leave a lasting impression, though the plot might not entirely revolve around them. Kareena, in particular, is looking forward to doing the role with bated breath, because she is a ‘huge fan’ of Aamir. The Jab We Met star says that sharing the frame with him is a ‘dream come true’ for her because she feels he is a ‘cinematic genius.’ Calling Laal Singh Chaddha a ‘special film', Kareena also said that it was an ‘absolute honour’ to work with the Ghajini star again.
When asked about Laal Singh Chadha at a recent event, Kareena said, "The film is very special to me. It's going to be an absolute honour to be in the same frame as Aamir because I've always been a huge fan of him. It's always been a dream come true to work with him. He is a cinematic genius and sharing a frame with him again would be an absolute dream come true again."
Laal Singh Chaddha
Laal Singh Chadha is directed by Aamir Khan’s former manager Advait Chandan, who had helmed his production Secret Superstar in 2017. The movie, starring Zaira Wasim, was a success at the box office and critically acclaimed. The movie is gearing up for release on Christmas 2020.
Before Laal Singh Chaddha, Kareena will be seen in Good Newwz opposite Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar’s Takht might also release before Laal Singh Chadha.
Her last release was Veere Di Wedding, also starring Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania.
Meanwhile, she featured as a judge on Dance India Dance, where she reportedly became the highest-paid TV actress.
Aamir, however, will be keen to recover after the debacle of his Thugs of Hindostan last year.
