Laal Singh Chaddha’s shoot takes a toll on Aamir Khan’s health
Aamir Khan is currently busy shooting for his next film Laal Singh Chaddha in Punjab. There is no denying that Aamir goes to any extent to make his characters realistic and ensure the audience connects with them. Laal Singh Chaddha is no exception. The actor is working hard to make the film perfect even when the shooting is taking a toll on his health. Aamir reportedly shot for a special sequence in the film -- while having painkillers for continuously ten days.
According to a report in Mid-Day, a source revealed, “Aamir sir was shooting for a special sequence where he had to run across the country. The physical exertion was a lot due to the constant running, but we were on a fixed schedule. Aamir sir did not want to stop shooting since his bearded look had to be maintained throughout the sequence. So, he would consume painkillers and continue filming. This shooting schedule was on for around 10 days.”
It further read, “Aamir covered the whole of India for this portion, running in the heartlands of states in the North and South. He ended the shoot in Bengaluru.”
Aamir had earlier revealed in an interview that for Laal Singh Chaddha, he would have to run across the country which will be a challenging part for him. "If you see each running shot, it’s not more than 30 seconds. Woh cut karke sequence mein lagta hai ki woh char saal bhaga. So, that’s not a worry. The challenge is actually getting the ‘sur’ of the character right," he said.
Aamir underwent a drastic physical transformation for Laal Singh Chaddha. He lost 20 kg for the role. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film is an official Hindi remake of Tom Hanks' 1994 film Forest Grump. It also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, who auditioned for the role in the film.
