Gippy Grewal reveals why he turned down the offer to write Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.
Gippy Grewal has written several successful films including Ardaas, Ardaas Karaan and Warning. However, the actor recently revealed that he was asked to write Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha but he turned down the offer.
Gippy Grewal, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di, while launching the trailer of his film, revealed why he turned down the offer to write Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chadha and said, “I usually write all my films quickly – within 4-5 hours. Once Aamir bhai told me that he had started working on Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) and that he was looking for a Punjabi writer. He also asked if I wanted to be a part of it. I was fed up with Aamir Paaji and just wanted to wait for a while (laughs). I told him, ‘The main thing is that I get an answer soon. The main thing is that I am the author of this article’!”
He added, “3-4 days after the writer joined, I asked him how he was. He told me that Aamir had taken him to his farmhouse in Panchgani. I asked Aamir if the writer was doing his job well. He replied, ‘Haan, haan, bahut accha hai. Sahi kar raha hai. Kamaal hai ji banda.’ I asked the writer, ‘Tu aisa kya kar raha hai?’ He replied, ‘Not much. We discussed the script all day. The next day, when I brought up the changes, he replied, ‘Nahin, hum waise hi karte hai (what was initially decided).’ It went on like this for a long time. We don’t have any such process in Punjabi cinema.”
Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha flopped miserably at the box office. After that, the actor took a break from films. Recently, he produced Laapataa Ladies, which turned out to be a success on OTT despite being a flop at the box office. Now, he is returning to the big screen with his film Sitaare Zameen Par. He is also producing Lahore 1947, starring Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. Gippy Grewal’s Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di also stars Jasmin Bhasin, Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi and Prince Kanwaljeet Singh. The film released on September 13.
