‘Lal Singh Chaddha’, Aamir Khan’s Hindi version of the English classic ‘Forrest Gump’, has been in the making for over a year. The film was originally planned as a Christmas 2020 release and everything was on track with swift progress in shoot.

It is learnt that the makers of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ have got Shah Rukh Khan to play a cameo role in the film. If reports are to believed, the star will be appearing as the character Raj Malhotra from his iconic film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ). He had shot for his portions in Delhi last month. It is worth a mention that Shah Rukh and Aamir have shared screen space only once before — 27 years back in Ashtoush Gowraiker’s debut film ‘Pehla Nasha’.

As per a report in Mirror, the screenplay of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ weaves in iconic moments from each decade and Aamir’s character Chaddha would be encountering top film stars during his journey of self-discovery.
