Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha", an adaptation of the 1994 U.S. classic starring Tom Hanks, hits cinemas on Thursday ahead of India's 75th independence celebrations.
"I wondered how they would play around with such an iconic film," added Naga Chaitanya, a Telugu-language star from the southern film industry "Tollywood" who plays Bala, an adaptation of Gump's shrimp-fishing Vietnam comrade Bubba. "But the way they have conceived the film for Indian cinema is unique."
