Aamir Khan’s 2022 release Laal Singh Chaddha struggled at the box office, leaving the actor deeply affected. Kareena Kapoor, who played the female lead, recently shared Aamir’s emotional response in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India.
“Laal Singh was such a beautiful, honest film,” Kareena said. “You have such stalwarts like Aamir who believed in that film. Of course, he was shattered. He met me somewhere and said, ‘Picture nahi chali humari na, tu baat toh karegi na mujhse (Our movie didn’t work. You will still talk to me, right)?’”
Kareena revealed her pride in the project despite its underperformance. “I am most proud that you gave me Rupa! I feel what Rupa has done for me… it has done more for me than what a Singham can do,” she remarked.
She emphasized that the film wasn’t created for commercial success, explaining, “We did not make that film thinking it would make ₹500 crore. It was just made with all heart.”
Laal Singh Chaddha, a Hindi adaptation of Forrest Gump, received mixed reactions. Aamir Khan is now gearing up for his next projects, Sitaare Zameen Par and Lahore, 1947. Kareena, meanwhile, recently reprised her role in Rohit Shetty’s blockbuster Singham Again.
