Chaitanya plays a crucial role in the Indian adaptation of Forrest Gump (1994). The actor’s character is said to be based on Benjamin Buford Blue aka Bubba, who becomes Gump’s best friend when the latter enlists into the US Army. While the two promise to turn business partners, Gump honours his commitment after Bubba is killed in the Vietnam War. Going by the hashtag, his name seems to be Bala in the adaptation. Aamir Khan was last seen in the 2018 period drama 'Thugs of Hindostan' along with Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Katrina Kaif.
This drama also stars Mona Singh who earlier worked with Khan in the 2009 blockbuster ‘3 idiots’. ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ is directed by Advait Chandan and written by Atul Kulkarni.
