When
powerhouse
performer
Vijay
Sethupathi
was
in
Melbourne
recently
attending
the
Indian
Film
Festival
of
Melbourne,
where
he
received
the
'Best
Actor'
award
for
his
stupendous
performance
in
the
Tamil
movie
Super
Deluxe,
the
actor
had
revealed
that
he
was
in
talks
with
Bollywood
superstar
Aamir
Khan
for
a
movie.
Now,
rumours
are
rife
that
the
said
collaboration
is
for
the
superstar's
next
outing
in
Hindi,
Lal
Singh
Chaddha.
It
is
being
speculated
that
while
Aamir
is
stepping
into
the
role
of
Tom
Hanks
from
the
original
Forest
Gump,
Vijay
Sethupathi
would
be
seen
as
his
friend.
If
anyone
recalls
the
original,
Mykelti
Williamson
had
played
the
role
of
Tom
Hanks's
friend
Benjamin
Buford
"Bubba" Blue,
which
was
quite
pivotal
to
the
plot.
There
is
a
strong
buzz
that
the
makers
are
planning
the
friend's
character
as
a
Tamilian,
so
that
Vijay
Sethupathi
would
naturally
fit
into
the
narrative.
The
movie
is
also
touted
to
have
the
1984
Sikh
riots
incorporated
into
the
plot.
However,
this
hasn't
been
confirmed
by
the
makers.
Lal
Singh
Chaddha
is
an
important
film
for
Aamir
Khan
considering
that
it
comes
after
the
box
office
dud
Thugs
of
Hindoston.
Having
an
actor
of
Vijay
Sethupathi's
calibre
could
boost
the
film
in
many
ways.
However,
an
official
confirmation
regarding
any
of
this
is
to
yet
to
come
up.
Advait
Chnadan,
who
directed
the
Zaira
Wasim
starrer
Secret
Superstar,
is
helming
Lal
Singh
Chaddha.
While
the
pre-production
work
is
underway,
the
shooting
is
expected
to
begin
soon.
So,
what
do
you
have
to
say
about
two
powerhouse
talents
coming
together?
Are
you
as
excited
as
we
are?
