Chandigarh, May 31

After hanging fire for over 4 years, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has finally come up with the trailer of his most anticipated and ambitious project, 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The trailer of this period drama released on Monday while the movie is set for a release in August this year. The movie is remake of Tom Hanks-starrer ‘Forrest Gump’, which is based on Winston Groom's novel.

The trailer, however, doesn’t seem to be pleasing audience for many reasons and a trend #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha has been acrimoniously circulating on Twitter.

Firstly, Forrest Gump, being a magnum opus, seems to be giving big competition as cinema lovers are drawing a comparison between acting of Aamir Khan and Tom Hanks. Aamir has juxtaposed scenes of Forrest Gump with Indian ingredients—like replacing chocolates with golgappa and obviously his Punjabi accent— which people are finding quite unnatural and poor adaptation. People on Twitter are comparing both the movies and have pointed out poor acting, awful accent, and bizarre recreations from the old movie.

Besides this primary reason of trend, social media is sharing an old video of Kareena Kapoor Khan, where she spoke in the backdrop of nepotism debate in India and said viewers should stop watching our movies if they don’t want nepotism to flourish.

Moreover, some users are calling it a concoction of Forrest Gump, Dhoom 3 and PK.
