Aamir Khan recently organised a special screening of his upcoming film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in Hyderabad, for several stars of the Telugu film industry. Aamir held the preview at Chiranjeevi’s residence earlier this week. Others to attend included Nagarjuna, his son Naga Chaitanya, and filmmakers like SS Rajamouli and Sukumar.

A picture from the screening showed Aamir sitting with his guests as they saw his upcoming film. Nagarjuna, SS Rajamouli, and Sukumar were sitting in the front row, while Naga, Chiranjeevi, and Aamir sat in the second row.

Aamir's team said that all of them were exhilarated after seeing the film, which also marks the Bollywood debut of Naga Chaitanya. Naga Chaitanya joined the filming for ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in July 2021. He will be seen playing a version of the character of Benjamin Buford Blue, aka Bubba, a friend of the title character from his time in the military.

The film's final schedule was shot in Ladakh over 40 days, where Aamir and Chaitanya filmed some war sequences. The role of Bubba was previously supposed to be played by actor Vijay Sethupathi, but Naga Chaitanya later replaced him.

‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ is an adaptation of Tom Hanks-starrer 'Forrest Gump', which was based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film is gearing up for a theatrical release on August 11. The Advait Chandan directorial also stars Kareena Kapoor opposite Aamir and Mona Singh as his mother. Shah Rukh Khan is also reportedly playing a cameo in the film. The trailer was unveiled during the IPL 2022 finale in May.
