Aamir Khan On Why His Role In 바카라�Laal Singh Chaddha바카라� Is Sikh: It Felt Very Natural To Us

After a hiatus, Aamir Khan is all set to feature in his upcoming project, 바카라�Laal Singh Chaddha바카라�, alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Naga Chaitanya. The buzz around the film, ahead of the film바카라�s release on August 11, is really high. In fact, the makers of the film have been teasing the audience with new posters and announcements. 

Adding to the excitement, the trailer of the film, which is an official Hindi remake of 1994 Hollywood classic 바카라�Forrest Gump바카라�, was well-received by everyone. Now amidst all the praise, Aamir, in a recent interview, has revealed why his character in 바카라�Laal Singh Chaddha바카라� is Sikh.

Stating how the film's writer Atul Kulkarni had special reasons to make the character a Sikh, Aamir told Gallata Plus, "Atul (Atul Kulkarni) in his adaptation (of Forrest Gump) had already placed him as a Sikh... When we received it as a script, we were already reading a Sikh character. So, it felt very natural to us and organic to us. So, none of us questioned why he was a Sikh.바카라�

Aamir further added, 바카라�But now that I think about it, technically, he could be anyone; he could be South Indian. But I think Atul did that because, in our timeline of recent socio-political history, 1983바카라�84 was a very key time, a very difficult time, and the Sikh community went through a lot of difficulties at that time.바카라� 

Last, but not the least, Aamir pointed out that by making the lead character a Sikh, Atul was trying to make the audience invest their emotions 바카라�very strongly in the character, in the incident and then from there on... in the film.바카라�

Earlier, in a conversation with Times Now, Atul had also talked about Aamir's role being Sikh. He said, "People will have to watch the film for that. If I start talking about it too much, logo ka maza kir kira ho jayega. People will definitely get an answer and there is an important reason why he is a Sikh character."

'Laal Singh Chaddha' is bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios.
