Why Gippy Grewal rejected Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'
At the trailer launch of his upcoming film Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di, actor-director Gippy Grewal revealed that he was initially approached to write the script for Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha. However, he turned down the offer as he knew that Khan "takes a lot of time" and suggested another writer instead. The film, an official adaptation of the 1994 Hollywood film Forrest Gump, was released in August 2022.
Grewal didn't want to commit to a time-taking project
Grewal said, "I usually write all my films quickly - within 4-5 hours. Once Aamir bhai told me that he had started work on Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) and that he wanted a Punjabi writer." "He also asked if I'd like to come on board. Mujhe pata tha ki Aamir paaji bahut time lagate hai (laughs). I told him, 'Main toh itna accha nahin likhta. Main aapko ek writer de deta hoon'!"

LSC, Khan's passion project, was directed by Advait Chandan and written by Atul Kulkarni. It also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, Manav Vij, Mona Singh, Arun Bali, Shiv Pandit, and Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo appearance. Though the film could not do well critically and commercially, it got a new lease of life when it arrived on Netflix later in 2022.
