"What I have learnt in last 12 years, I learnt from Aamir Khan in 45 days" - Naga Chaitanya on Laal Singh Chaddha

In an interview with Film Companion last year, Naga Chaitanya revealed, “One thing is for sure that, what I have learnt in last 12 years, I learnt from him in 45 days. He has taught me more than that. He’s got this amazing magic that he can rub off, influence people without even trying. He’s not doing that on purpose, it’s just the amount of knowledge he has, the human being that he is. He is such a lovely person.”

He also said, “At first, he is an actor, but he is in-tuned with craft as much as he with acting, and that’s amazing. He is always chasing content. He always talks about content first. He doesn’t talk about (box office) numbers or packaging. All that comes in the end, but as they’re filming, and till they finish filming, he is only chasing the content, and he’s been true to that.”

Previously, Chaitanya had mentioned that Aamir had personally called him for the role in Laal Singh Chaddha. Speaking with Deccan Chronicle, he said, “I got a call from Aamir Khan. After discussing the initial modalities of the script, I went to Mumbai for final discussions and was quickly on board. It was like magic! Aamir said he’d watched some of my performances and trailers of my film and was very impressed and that he felt I’d be apt for the role.”

Naga Chaitanya will play the role of an Army man, who becomes friends with Aamir Khan’s character Laal. After the release of Secret Superstar, Aamir Khan and Advait Chandan has reunited for Laal Singh Chaddha. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios, the film is Indian adaptation of Tom Hanks starrer Forrest Gump. It arrives in theatres in August 2022.

After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is. We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
