Aamir Khan & Naga Chaitanya’s Laal Singh Chaddha is all set to release this week. Aamir Khan has been doing extensive promotions all over India and his recent interviews with Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and other top stars from respective industries garnered a decent response.
Aamir even organized a special screening of the film for Chiranjeevi, SS Rajamouli, Nagarjuna, and Sukumar in Hyderabad a few days ago.
However, despite Laal Singh Chaddha being a big-budget top star film, the buzz and bookings for the film are shockingly low. Out of the 5,400 shows scheduled at the moment, the bookings have been extremely poor registering only 11% occupancy with a meager Rs 3.4 crores of gross collection.
This in no way sounds like a big budget movie opening and the Bollywood trade circles are in total shock. They are hoping that the bookings pick up in the next couple of days before release.
Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor and Mona Singh and is an official remake of Tom Hanks’ 1994 Hollywood classic Forrest Gump. The movie has been remade to suit to Indian nativity and also features a came from Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.
