Kareena Kapoor opened up about Aamir Khan’s reaction to the dismal box office performance of their 2022 film Laal Singh Chadha.
Aamir Khan’s 2022 release Laal Singh Chadha failed to connect with audiences and underperformed at the box office. Kareena Kapoor, who played the lead opposite Aamir in the film, has opened up about the failure of the film in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, sharing that Aamir was ‘shattered’ when the film did not perform well at the box office. He also expressed his apology to Kareena after the release. (Also read: Kangana Ranaut says ‘mastermind’ Aamir Khan is behind boycott Laal Singh Chaddha trend: ‘Skillfully curated by himself’)
Laal Singh Chaddha starred Aamir Khan in the titular role with Kareena Kapoor playing his childhood love Rupa.
What Kareena said
During the conversation, Kareena said, “Laal Singh was such a beautiful, honest film. You have such stalwarts like Aamir who believed in that film (Laal Singh Chaddha). Of course, he was shattered. He met me somewhere and he said, ‘Picture nahi chali humari na, tu baat toh karegi na mujhse (Our movie didn’t work. You will still talk to me, right)?’ What is the meaning of saying this now that I am sorry? I am like, ‘We are actors! I am most proud that you gave me Rupa! I feel what Rupa has done… it has done more for me than what a Singham can do!”
She went on to explain why. “The character was so beautiful. I loved playing it, I enjoyed doing that part. It had so much more to do, so much more to think of… you are not just there and we did not make that film thinking it would make ₹500 crore. It was just made with all heart,” she said.
More details
Released in 2022, Laal Singh Chaddha was the official Hindi remake of the Hollywood film Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks. Kareena was last seen in Singham Again, which released in theatres this Diwali.
