The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (AMPAS) has described `Laal Singh Chaddha` as a "faithful" Indian adaptation of the Hollywood film "Forrest Gump". Directed by Advait Chandan of `Secret Superstar` fame and adapted by noted actor Atul Kulkarni, `Laal Singh Chaddha` is the official remake of the 1994 Tom Hanks-starrer.
Superstar Aamir Khan headlines the Hindi version of the American movie which featured Hanks as the titular character Forrest. The Academy on Saturday shared a video montage of the two films on its official Twitter page. "Robert Zemeckis and Eric Roth`s sweeping story of a man who changes the world with kindness receive a faithful Indian adaptation in Advait Chandan and Atul Kulkarni`s `Laal Singh Chaddha` feat. Aamir Khan in the role made famous by Tom Hanks," the California-based institution said.
