Reuniting beloved star Aamir Khan with Secret Superstar director Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha looks to be the biggest and most-anticipated Bollywood movie released this year; especially given the reaction to the first official trailer, which was originally shown during the final match of the T20 Cricket Tournament, and is available to view above.

Khan will star as the titular Laal Singh Chaddha; a somewhat slow, physically disabled man who goes on to have a fantastically interesting life; including joining the army, meeting state officials, excelling at table tennis, and even running across the country; and if any of that sounds familiar, it’s because Laal Singh Chaddha is an official adaptation of beloved Hollywood classic Forrest Gump.

Reuniting Aamir with 3 Idiots co-star Kareena Kapoor, Laal Singh Chaddha exhibits Indian heritage in its tranquil form, having been shot at multiple picturesque locations, and is already taking the public by storm; with songs from the film (including ‘Kahani’ and ‘Main Ki Karan?’) already jumping to the top of the most played tracks in India today.

Laal Singh Chaddha is due to be released in cinemas 11 August 2022.
