On Tuesday, a comparison between Aamir's performance in 'PK' and 'Laal Singh Chaddha' began to be drawn. Aamir has responded to these speculations by asking audiences to first watch 'Laal...' and judge for themselves.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Aamir answered this question. He said, “I think you all should watch the film and then decide. I will tell you why, because there is one similarity in Laal and PK and that is innocence. Laal is innocent and so is PK. This is a very strong quality that both of them possess. So, in the trailer, you might not be able to see the difference which you will see in the whole performance. Toh jab aap Laal ka poora performance dekhenge toh I am hoping ki dono characters aapko bohot innocent lagein but woh aapko alag kirdar lagega. Woh aapko PK nahi lagega, mere hisab se. (When you will watch the film, I am hoping that you spot the same innocence in PK and Laal but you realise they are two completely different characters. As per me, you won't feel it's PK)."
Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha is scheduled to release on August 11. The film is an official Hindi adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 film 'Forrest Gump'.
Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya are also a part of 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The film will clash with Akshay Kumar starrer 'Rakshabandhan'.
