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

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.
