Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha won't release during Christmas

In an official statement shared on Instagram, Aamir Khan Productions announced it will release during Valentine's Day 2022.

"We welcome the decision of the administration to allow cinemas to re-open from 22nd Oct," read the statement.

"Due to the delays faced as a result of the pandemic, we will be unable to release our film, Laal Singh Chaddha, this Christmas. We will now be releasing Laal Singh Chaddha on Valentine's Day 2022," it further said.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh's sports drama 83, which is based on Kapil Dev and his Indian team's 1983 World Cup victory, will hit the silver screen during Christmas 2021.

Laal Singh Chaddha is directed by Advait Chandan from a screenplay written by Eric Roth and Atul Kulkarni.

An adaptation of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump which itself based on Winston Groom's 1986 novel of the same name, the film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Naga Chaitanya.
