'We got saved', says Aamir Khan on Laal Singh Chaddha averting clash with KGF Chapter 2

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan says the delay in post-production of "Laal Singh Chaddha" was a blessing in disguise for his upcoming film, which would have clashed with the blockbuster movie "KGF: Chapter 2" had it arrived earlier this year. During a special event of "Laal Singh Chaddha" in Hyderabad on Sunday, Khan opened up about the averted clash and said the film got "saved". "I remember when 'KGF 2' was about to release, there was a lot of excitement among the Hindi audience, amongst my own friends.

"'Laal Singh Chaddha' was supposed to release on that day. But fortunately for us, Red



Chillies was taking a little time on the VFX so we got saved! Otherwise, we would have come with 'KGF 2'," Khan told reporters.

"Laal Singh Chaddha", the Hindi adaptation of the 1994 Tom Hanks-starrer "Forrest Gump", was earlier slated to be released alongside "KGF: Chapter 2", the Kannada action drama headlined by Yash, on April 14.

"Laal Singh Chaddha" postponed its release owing to delay in visual effects (VFX) work and "KGF: Chapter 2" set the box office on fire with an opening of more than Rs 53 crore, emerging as one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema in 2022.
