Kareena Kapoor asked Aamir Khan to replace her in Laal Singh Chaddha when she got pregnant: Wanted to have my 2nd baby
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.
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.
