Naga Chaitanya opened up on the failure of Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha in a recent interview.
Telugu star Naga Chaitanya made his debut in Hindi cinema with Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor essayed the role of Balaraju aka Baala, a friend of Aamir’s character in this film which was Indian adaptation of Tom Hanks’ cult classic, Forrest Gump.
Unfortunately, Laal Singh Chaddha failed to meet the expectations of the audience and tanked miserably at the box office. Made on a budget of around Rs 200 Crore, the Aamir Khan starrer barely touched Rs 66 Crore mark.
In a new interview with Mirchi 9, Naga Chaitanya opened up on the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha and whether he regrets taking up that film.
The actor said, “The main reason for me to do that project was to travel with Aamir sir. As an actor, I wished I get to travel with him for just 2 days to learn from him. I walked into the project with this mindset. But I got to work with him for 5-6 months.”
The Majili actor said that he personally connected with the script of Laal Singh Chaddha when he read it for the first time.
“There was a lot of honesty, even in the way Aamir sir was working. I just followed him in this journey and I have no regrets at all. It’s unfortunate that the movie didn’t work out but I came out as an evolved person, both professionally and personally. It’s because of what he taught me,” Chay told the portal.
He also added that he sees working in Laal Singh Chaddha as an ‘investment for the future’.
Currently, Naga Chaitanya is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film, Custody. Helmed by Venkat Prabhu, the film features Krithi Shetty as his leading lady.
