One of the most anticipated films of the season, #LaalSinghChaddha is up for release on August 11. An adaptation of #ForrestGump, the film features Aamir Khan in the lead role and Kareena Kapoor and Mona Singh in pivotal characters.
Laal Singh Chaddha features Mona Singh in the character of Aamir Khans mother. After the 2009 box office sensation 3 Idiots, the actress collaborated with Aamir Khan in the upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha. In the movie, Mona plays the mother of a young Laal. For the same reason, Twitter users made fun of Aamir and Mona's age gap. Aamir defended Mona from the trolls during and said "I want to ask you a question that as an actor, as a creative person, if I'm looking 103, which I'm supposed to, why is my age inappropriate to play the role? Just because I am 57? What is the logic? Age specific kya hota hai actor ke liye? Actor ka toh yeh kamaal hota hai ke woh kuch bhi age ka ho aur kuch bhi age lage. (It is the beauty of the actor to look any age on screen despite their real age being different.)”
He further added, “Yeh toh Mona Singh ka kamaal hai. Jab aap dekhoge toh aapko lagega ke badi young lag rahi hai, phir aapko lagega ke yeh toh badi old bhi dikh rahi hai. (When you will Mona Singh in the film then you will realize her brilliance. At one point you will feel she is looking very young, while at some other point she is looking old as well).”
