Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood, Aamir Khan, who is currently busy with Laal Singh Chaddha and also has Gulshan Kumar biopic Mogul under his kitty, is reportedly in talks with Shubh Mangal Saavdhan director, RS Prasanna for an inspirational slice-of-life sports drama venture. The film will be bankrolled by Sony Pictures India. A source close to the development told PinkVilla, "The screenplay of Shubh Mangal Saavdhan followed the Aamir Khan narrative of LED (Laughter, Emotion, Drama) and the actor is himself a fan of the film. The two had met even before to discuss a subject, but things didn't fall in place. But now, Aamir is in advanced talks with the director for his next, and he has basic loved the concept."
The source added, "It's not a quintessential sport film, but something very 'special'. One can bracket it as an inspirational slice of life sport film and it falls right in the alley of brand Aamir. Being a film set against the backdrop of sport, it calls for a big ensemble. However, the casting will begin, once Aamir officially signs the contract."
Talking about Laal Singh Chaddha, we all know that it is a remake of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump. The latter was based on a 1986's novel by the same name, written by Winston Groom. Tom Hanks played the lead character alongside Robert Wright and Gary Sinise. The movie received several accolades and was the biggest hit of that year. Forrest Gump swept the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing. Meanwhile, Hanks was applauded for his performance with the Best Actor Oscar award. The movie also performed well at the Golden Globes, People's Choice Awards, and Young Artist Awards. It is written by Atul Kulkarni and directed by Secret Superstar helmer Advait Chandan.
