Bollywood film Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan in the lead role is making headlines almost every day. And here's an interesting update about it!

Here's more about the film and the latest update.
Why does this story matter?
Aravind reportedly paid a huge amount to acquire the Telugu rights of the film. And in Telugu states, Laal Singh Chaddha will be released under Aravind's Geetha Arts banner.
