Aamir Khan has often spoken about the disappointing box office performance of his 2022 film Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of Tom Hanks-starrer Forrest Gump. The film, which was particularly close to his heart, failed to connect with audiences, leaving the actor deeply affected. He later took a break from films before returning with Sitaare Zameen Par in 2025. Now, in a recent conversation with JioHotstar, Aamir revealed that he initially wanted his son Junaid Khan to play the titular role. Aamir recalled that when Junaid returned to India after completing his acting training in Los Angeles, he was curious to see how his son had evolved as an actor. Aamir decided to test him as a filmmaker, so he could evaluate his talent. Recalling the early stages of the film, Aamir said, “I loved the script of Forrest Gump, we were very excited about it. At that time, Junaid had just completed his acting course in LA. He came back quite experienced and I thought, let me see what he has learned.” He asked …

Naga Chaitanya reveals why he hasn’t signed another Hindi film after Laal Singh Chaddha: How film fares at box office…

After making a strong place for himself down South, Naga Chaitanya entered Hindi films with Aamir Khan co-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. The film, however, was met with a lukewarm response and since then, the actor hasn’t signed any other Hindi film yet. Ask him why and he says, “There is no specific reason. Definitely, my eyes are open. It’s just after that film, I’ve been working on projects here and they’ve taken a lot of my time and effort. So, I’m looking forward to an opportunity in Hindi and all my energies are out there to do something special over there again.” Naga Chaitanya (Photo: Instagram) Was the underwhelming response to the film that pushed him towards being more cautious with his choices in Hindi? “Not really, because I really enjoyed myself shooting for that film. I learned so much and the people there were so warm and took such good care of me. So the experience has been nothing short of amazing. As for how the film fares in the box office, …

At the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) in Australia, Aamir recalled how that setback was very different from the one that came before that — Vijay Krishna Acharya’s 2018 period action adventure Thugs of Hindostan. Aamir Khan ‘wasn’t surprised’ when Thugs of Hindostan flopped “When Thugs didn’t do well, I wasn’t surprised because I didn’t like it. So, the audience and I were on the same side. Though I was sad because so much effort was put into it. Adi (Aditya Chopra) had put in so much money. He’s a great producer. He’d done so much for the film. And of course, we were all disappointed. But it was like an accident I could see happening in slow motion. But with Laal Singh Chaddha, I thought it’s a very nice film. It’s still a very …

When 2026 kicked off, Mona Singh’s last theatrical release was four years ago — Advait Chandan’s Laal Singh Chaddha. Two months into 2026, she’s had two theatrical releases in January — Vir Das and Kavi Shastri’s directorial debut Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos and Anurag Singh’s hit period war drama Border 2. Last month, she headlined season 2 of Sudip Sharma’s Netflix India crime drama Kohrra. And this month, she played the gangster Babli in Suresh Triveni’s action thriller Subedaar on Prime Video India. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Mona opens up on how 2026 is already shaping up to be the year of Mona Singh, her enduring equation with Aamir Khan, and the film journey that started with Rajkumar Hirani’s 2009 blockbuster 3 Idiots. It’s the first time in your career that you’ve had two theatrical releases in the same month. Does that hit differently from streaming releases?

Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha performed far below expectations at the box office, marking one of the more disappointing moments in the actor’s illustrious career. Despite being a sophisticated and heartfelt adaptation of Forrest Gump, the film struggled to find takers among audiences. Mona Singh, who played Aamir’s mother in the film, delivered a remarkable performance that was widely appreciated by critics. Yet, like much of the film itself, her work went under the radar amid the movie’s muted reception. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Mona opened up about how deeply the film’s performance affected her. She recalled an emotional moment from the day of the release, when she visited Aamir Khan’s house along with director Advait Chandan. “We did meet on the day of the release. Advait was there, we had gone to Aamir’s house. And I was crying, of course, I always begin to weep in such moments. And it’s for the good only, as it loosens up the heart, and cleanses your mind with all the worries. So I cried, and …

Reddit feels Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par remake is a frame-by-frame copy of Campeones trailer: ‘Another remake after Laal Singh Chaddha’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Aamir Khan Productions unveiled the trailer of RS Prasanna’s coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par on Tuesday evening. While it’s a spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan’s 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par, the lesser known fact is that it’s an official remake of Javier Fesser’s 2018 Spanish film Campeones. A Redditor compared the trailers of both the films, and pointed out striking similarities. These include Aamir’s character of the coach drinking while driving and bumping his car into a police van in the middle of the road, just like Javier Gutierrez’s character in the original. Both are then penalized by the court to train a bunch of mentally challenged kids for a basketball tournament. Other similarities include the coach’s character throwing the basketball straight into the face of one of the kids, as the others shield their faces in the next shot. The bouncing boards of the protagonist are the same too — his friend and his mother — but his wife (played by Genelia D’Souza in Sitaare Zameen Par) — doesn’t feature in the …

Aamir Khan has had his career highs and lows. But none of it has stopped him from continuing work in Bollywood. Over the years, he has come up with strategies that have been working for him and the people he works for. In a recent interview, the superstar stated that he doesn’t charge money when his movies don’t make a profit, like in the case of Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir Khan’s rich filmography speaks volumes about the kind of artist he is. Since he has tried his hand in acting, direction, and production, Khan knows how much effort it takes to make a blockbuster hit film. Hence, he worked out a strategy that doesn’t put pressure on the producers he is working with. Just like older times, when performing artists used to ask for money from the audience after delivering their act, Aamir also asks for his payment only when his movies make a profit. While talking to ABP Live about implementing this strategy in his life, Mr. Perfectionist said that he follows the same concept …
