Aamir Khan To Play Tom Hanks In Forrest Gump

Wonderful to hear Aamir Khan announce an official remake of the Robert Zemeckis-directed classic Forrest Gump which had taken Tom Hanks’ career to another level.

However a lot of what Aamir did in Raj Kumar Hirani’s PK seemed borrowed from Forrest Gump.

The new film is to be titled Lal Singh Chadha would be directed by Advait Chandan who directed Aamir in Secret Superstar .Aamir says the character would be converted into a Sardar and that he would be losing weight to play the part.

This announcement finally puts an end to Aamir’s lofty plans of doing a marathon version of the Hindu epic the Mahabharat.
