Lal Singh Chaddha Debacle: Director Advait Chandan reacts to rumours of his fall out with
Aamir Khan
Following the debacle of Lal Singh Chaddha, the film’s director Advait Chandan has strongly reacted to rumours of a fall out with Aamir Khan.
Taking to his Instagram handle, he posted a picture with Aamir where both are seen ready to ride some waves. They are also spotted holding their surfing boards and smiling at the camera. Advait and Aamir are known to each other for 15 years.
Infact, Laal Singh Chaddha is now number 2 non-English film globally on Netflix
Advait wrote in his Instagram that all those talking about a fall out between him and Aamir, they are like Genie and Aladin, Baloo and Mowgli, Amar and Prem.” Whereas Mona Singh who plays the role of Aamir’s mom in the film, commented with lots of red heart emojis and said, “Always.”
Notably, Laal Singh Chaddha is the Bollywood remake of Tom Hanks’ Academy Award-winning film, Forrest Gump. The film failed to meet expectations at the box office, grossing only ₹88 crore worldwide. It was met with mixed reviews amid boycott calls after Aamir’s old interview talking about ‘intolerance in India’ surfaced online.
Advait worked as an assistant production manager on Aamir Khan’s 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par. He went on to work as the actor’s manager for more than four years and also worked on Aamir’s ex-wife, Kiran Rao’s Dhobi Ghat in 2010. Advait made his directorial debut with Super Superstar, which also featured Aamir in an extended cameo.
Even following his failure to lure the audience to theatres, Laal Singh Chaddha recently got a second chance and premiered on Netflix. As per the OTT giant, it became the number 1 film in India and number 2 non-English film on the streaming platform globally. Besides India, it made it to the top 10 in films in 13 countries across the world, including Mauritius, Bangladesh, Singapore, Oman, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Malaysia and the UAE.
