After piquing the audience’s curiosity, superstar and producer Aamir Khan unveiled the first song ‘Kahani’ from his upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha on Thursday.

The actor reached RedFM studio on Thursday to talk about the song along with his daughter Ira Khan. During the conversation, he was asked whose opinion matters the most to him when it comes to his work, Aamir said his mother’s. He said, “Ammi bahut hi suljha hua response deti hain. Jab cheez unko pasand nahi aati hai toh kehti hai ‘Hatao, yeh kya banaya hai’ (My mother gives well-thought-out responses. When she doesn’t like something, she says, ‘Get it away from me, what have you made). She’s very cute in the way she says it.”

Aamir Khan also revealed that his mother is satisfied with Laal Singh Chaddha and told him not to make any changes. “Ammi ko film bahut pasand aayi. She said, ‘Aamir aap kisi baat mat suniye. Aapki film bahut sahi hain. Aur aap yahi release kariye. Kuch mat kaatiye.’ So Ammi ko kya lagta hai mere kaam ke baare mein woh boht zaruri hai. Number one reaction it is for me (My mother really liked the film. She said, ‘Don’t listen to anybody else, you’ve made a very good film. Don’t cut anything, release it as it is’. My mother’s opinion of my work is very important to me).”

Laal Singh Chaddha is produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao and Viacom18 Studios and is all set to release on 11th August, 2022 in theatres worldwide.
