Tamil
star
Vijay
Sethupathi
was
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
Aamir
Khan's
upcoming
film
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
Unfortunately,
things
didn't
walk
out
and
the
Master
actor
exited
the
project.
Now,
if
the
latest
buzz
is
to
believed,
Telugu
star
Naga
Chaitanya
has
been
approached
for
this
role
in
Aamir
Khan
starrer.
If
things
go
as
planned,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
would
be
Naga
Chaitanya's
Bollywood
debut.
One
hears
that
the
Majili
actor
is
likely
to
begin
shooting
for
the
film
in
May.
However,
there
isn't
no
official
word
on
this
yet
from
the
makers.
Earlier,
there
were
reports
in
the
media
that
Vijay
had
quit
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
post
a
fallout
with
Aamir
over
weight
issues.
However,
later,
the
Super
Delux
actor
broke
his
silence
on
these
reports
citing
that
the
pandemic
affected
the
dates
which
he
had
allocated
to
this
film.
"COVID
happened.
It
ransacked
all
our
plans.
After
the
lockdown
I
had
five
Telugu
projects
in
various
stages
of
production
to
complete.
I
just
couldn't
accommodate
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
in
my
schedule," Vijay
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
news
portal.
Aamir
Khan's
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
is
the
remake
of
Tom
Hanks'
1994
American
film
Forrest
Gump.
The
film
helmed
by
Advait
Chandan,
stars
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
as
the
leading
lady.
On
a
related
note,
Aamir
was
recently
seen
in
a
special
dance
number
titled
'Har
Funn
Maula'
with
Elli
AvrRam
for
Amin
Hajee's
upcoming
film
Koi
Jaane
Na.
The
superstar
was
also
in
the
news
for
quitting
social
media.
The
superstar
who
celebrated
his
56th
birthday
on
Sunday
wrote,
"Hey
guys,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
love
and
warmth
on
my
birthday
My
heart
is
full.
In
other
news,
this
is
going
to
be
my
last
post
on
social
media.
Considering
that
I
am
SO
active
anyway
I
have
decided
to
drop
the
pretence.
We
will
continue
to
communicate
as
we
did
before."
