Is Aamir Khan working on a Bollywood Forrest Gump?

Is Aamir Khan working on a Bollywood Forrest Gump?

Khan might be set to star as Bolly Tom Hanks for the film
17 Nov, 2018

Mama said a lot of things but sure didn't see this coming.

In August, DNA had reported that Aamir Khan may be acquiring the rights to 1994 classic Forrest Gump for a Bollywood remake.

According to their source, "Aamir wants to make Forrest Gump in Hindi, which he will star in. He wants to play the lead role that Tom Hanks had essayed in the original. It has been on his wishlist for some time."

Added the source, "Scripting is currently underway. Aamir wants his team to rework the whole narrative, setting it in the Indian context."

After Thugs of Hindostan it looks like Aamir Khan might be working on making that happen.

Pinkvilla has an exclusive scoop claiming that not only has the actor acquired the rights for the film, he will be reuniting with Secret Superstar director Advait Chandan to work on the project as his next feature.

However, Aamir Khan has not commented on the matter himself nor given any details hinting at such a project. Neither has Chandan.

Oh well, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what Aamir Khan is going to do.

Its exciting to have films based on creative ideas, but raplicas must be avoided. His movie PK's idea seemed to be stolen from Paresh Rawal's 2013 hit movie OMG.

I don’t think he will be that stupid to go ahead with the project . It’s a no-win situation from the get go.

Bollywood version of Forrest Gump! No surprise there, Bollywood is known for the copycat. Take Hollywood script, add a few songs & dance then you have a blockbuster.

This guy made a poor spoof of Captain Jack sparrow in The Thugs of Hindustan. Stop copying Hollywood and stick to Bollywood. Spare us the agony of watching you as Forrest Gump. You ain't Tom Hanks.

Remakes are always tricky waters. He should stick to originality. But he does want to makes remakes, can I suggest a remake of "Rain Man"?
