Speaking with Canadian film journalist Alexandra, when asked how he got Shah Rukh to do a cameo, Aamir said, "Well Shah Rukh is a friend and I told him that I needed someone who can represent what Elvis (Presley) represented in America. I need the biggest iconic star of India, which is why I am coming to you’ (laughs). He was really sweet and he said, ‘Yes’.”

Shah Rukh along with the Laal Singh Chaddha team, including Aamir, has so far not spoken about his role in the film. Earlier this year, Shah Rukh held an Ask Me Anything session on Twitter. A fan had asked him, "Laal Singh Chaddha dekhi (Did you watch Laal Singh Chaddha)?" He had replied, "Arre yaar Aamir kehta hai pehle Pathaan dikha (Aamir says first show me Pathaan)!! #Pathaan"

Laal Singh Chaddha is the official Hindi adaptation of the 1994 Hollywood feature Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. Backed by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions, the film is scheduled for worldwide August 11 rl.

Actor Atul Kulkarni penned the script of the upcoming movie. Recently, speaking with news agency PTI, he said, "I wrote the script for Aamir. It all began about 13-14 years ago. I'm happy and fortunate enough that it turned out well. Aamir liked it and decided to do it. We were talking about the films we like, that's when Forrest Gump came up. The next day I was supposed to travel somewhere for my shoot but it got cancelled. So, I had 10-15 days on my hands and Forrest Gump was on my mind. I had not seen this film in a long time, so I thought I should watch it again."
