Aamir Khan will next be seen in Advait Chandan's upcoming comedy drama, Laal Singh Chaddha along with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Mona Singh. The film is an official remake of the Tom Hanks-starrer Hollywood hit Forrest Gump. And it was reported that Vijay Sethupathi was also roped in for an important role in the film. However, the Tamil star walked out of the film and speculations were rife that the actor was asked to leave to the project when he refused to lose his weight. Vijay has now cleared the air on his exit from the Aamir Khan starrer.
"First of all I've always had the highest regard for Aamir sir as an actor. His selection of roles always inspired me to attempt something different every time. When I got to know him personally for Lal Singh Chadha I was even more impressed by his humility and knowledge of cinema. Just being with him is a learning experience," Vijay Sethupathi was quoted as saying by the News Minute.
Recently, there were reports that Aamir was very disappointed when he learned that Vijay had gained weight. The Master actor was supposed to be in shape for the film but had failed to do so. When Vijay was asked about it, he replied, "I am very comfortable with my body and my mind. Whatever project I go into, they go with me."
Vijay recalled the time when Aamir had flew down to Tamil Nadu, narrated the script to him and stayed overnight. "Aamir sir personally offered me the role. He then flew down to Tamil Nadu where I was shooting to narrate the script to me. For some reason the director Advait Chandan couldn't come. Aamir sir came alone, narrated the script and stayed overnight in that town and left the next morning. Such a big superstar and no airs. And he is a marvelous storyteller. The way he narrated the story was mesmerising. I immediately said yes."
When Vijay was asked about the reason to quit Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir said, "Then COVID happened. It ransacked all our plans. After the lockdown I had five Telugu projects in various stages of production to complete. I just couldn't accommodate Lal Singh Chadha in my schedule."
He further added, "When I went to Mumbai, Aamir sir invited me to his house. He was the perfect host, not just once but twice. I can never forget his kindness and his knowledge in cinema. It would be an honour and a pleasure to work with him sometime in the near future."
