Big changes have been made to root Laal Singh Chaddha in Indian history and culture, with both the Kargil war and superstar Shah Rukh Khan appearing.

Released in 1994, the original film went on to sweep the Oscars, taking six trophies including best picture and best actor for Tom Hanks. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth based on Winston Groom’s novel, Forrest Gump, is the tale of a slow-witted but mathematically gifted man who witnesses key points and figures of US history, like the Vietnam War, presidents and Elvis Presley.

” ‘my momma used to say life is like a box of chocolates: You never know which one you would get.’ And in this one, the English translation is, ‘My mama used to say that life is like a Golgappa: Your stomach gets full, but your heart desires more,’” explained Khan. Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.

“She’s such a huge star and she’s never auditioned for a part in her life. But for me, doing an audition for the part is perfectly natural because even I want to see how close I am to the character. So we’re not really testing to see that a person can act or not, but really how suitable the person is for the part. But that’s something which is very unusual in India.”
