“Laal Singh Chaddha,” the Indian Hindi-language remake of 'Forrest Gump' is directed by Advait Chandan and stars Aamir Khan. It opens in theaters everywhere today.
“Gump” landed Hanks his second straight Oscar and further catapulted him into movie superstardom, cementing him as one of the all-time great leading men of Hollywood.
Khan, a longtime fan of the film that opened in theaters nearly 30 years ago, is also a producer on the film who spent a decade trying to get it made. The film reinterprets some lines word for word, with minor substitutions while putting familiar elements through the prism of Indian culture. “ ‘my momma used to say life is like a box of chocolates: you never know which one you would get.’ And in this one, the English translation is, ‘My mama used to say that life is like a Golgappa: your stomach gets full, but your heart desires more,’” Khan said, referring to the small circles of filled, deep-fried flatbread enjoyed with spiced water, according to The Associated Press.
They even incorporated the famous Elvis Presley “cameo,” only this version has legendary Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan. “We were trying to look for an equivalent to Elvis Presley in America. And I think for us, it was an obvious choice to go for Shah Rukh, because he’s such a huge star and everyone loves him so much,” Khan said, per AP. “He was really sporting and generous and said, yes, I’d love to do that.
It began filming in October 2019 before production halted due to COVID-19. They wrapped filming in September 2021 and will finally release this week, after more than a decade of trying to make it a reality.
