Aamir Khan announces new release date for much-anticipated Laal Singh Chaddha
The release date for Aamir Khan's much-anticipated period drama film Laal Singh Chaddha has been pushed yet another time. The film, which is the remake of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump (1994), was originally scheduled to be released on April 14, but it has been pushed back until August 11.
Aamir Khan Productions' official Instagram page released a statement on Tuesday, thanking the makers of Adipurush for moving the film's release date to August 11.
“This is to announce that our film, Laal Singh Chaddha, will not be releasing on 14th April as planned. This is because we are unable to complete the film in time. The film will now be releasing on 11 Aug 2022 in theatres worldwide. We would like to thank Mr. Bhushan Kumar, T Series and Om Raut and the entire team of Adipurush from the bottom of our hearts," read an excerpt from the statement.
The statement read, “We would like to thank them for being so helpful and understanding, and for shifting the release date of their much awaited, Adipurush, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, so that Laal Singh Chaddha can come on 11 Aug 2022."
If Laal Singh Chaddha had come out on April 14, it would have competed with Yash's KGF: Chapter 2. However, in an interview last year, Aamir Khan stated that he checked with Yash before deciding on a release date for the film.
Advait Chandan is the film's director. Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Motion Pictures are collaborating on the production of Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir Khan will appear in Laal Singh Chaddha alongside his 3 Idiots (2009) co-stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Mona Singh. Naga Chaitanya will also appear in an important role.
