Aamir Khan reveals real reason behind Laal Singh Chaddha's failure

Aamir Khan is looking back on Laal Singh Chaddha's box office failure as he gears up for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par.

During a casual sit-down with Rhea Chakraborty, the 3 Idiots actor reflected on the film being a massive failure.

Aamir said the 2022 film "hit me pretty bad, I was shaken emotionally," attributing the film's failure to his overly high-pitched performance.

He admitted, “My performance in Laal Singh Chaddha was pitched too high, unlike the original, which had a great performance by Tom Hanks, who pulled everyone with him. My performance let Laal Singh Chaddha down. My performance was not good, according to my reading. I think I might do better in my next film.”

In response to the Dangal actor's heartfelt admission, Rhea said she believed Aamir did justice to the role, leaving no room for further adjustments.

To which, the father-of-three responded, “As a creative person, I feel what we had intended to create, we reached very close to it (in Laal Singh Chaddha). So this was one of those films that some people really loved, it was their favourite film, while most people could not connect with it.

"And the reason why they could not connect was because my performance was weak… look when you make a mistake or you fail or you are weak, it can be an opportunity. You have to be very honest why the film did not work."

Meanwhile, the actor, renowned for his versatility in a wide range of projects, openly expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming film, adding, "I loved working in Sitaare Zameen Par after Laal Singh Chaddha despite saying I will not work in films. It (Sitaare Zameen Par) is a great film.”

He also shared his views on the importance of providing a platform and opportunities to new talent in the upcoming years, emphasizing the need to support emerging artists in the industry.
