Laal Singh Chaddha: Aamir Khan reportedly instructs having only a 'skeletal crew' be present on set due to Kareena Kapoor Khan's pregnancy

Aamir Khan's and Kareena Kapoor Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha has been making the right buzz ever since its announcement. Shot in Kolkata, Delhi, Rajasthan, Chandigarh and Amritsar, the Advait Chandan directorial has piqued the interest of avid cine-goers. With nearly 40% of the shoot pending due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the makers had planned a change in the location. Now, latest media reports suggest that the film will go on floors from September 7. 

The unit has swiftly begun constructing two sets at Film City in Goregaon and Vrundavan Studios in Malad. Kareena Kapoor Khan, who announced her second pregnancy last month, will be taking a maternity break after wrapping the film. The actress plays Aamir's love interest in the official adaptation of Forrest Gump (1994) and will join the actor during the Film City leg. "Aamir is certain that he wants to begin with indoor shoots. A set of a house has been erected at the Goregaon studio, where the two actors will shoot their joint scenes. Post that, Aamir will move on to Vrundavan Studios where a huge set of a military hospital is being constructed. This leg is crucial to the narrative as the unit will shoot the portions where his character Laal Singh Chaddha is seen returning from the war," revealed a source.

."As the producer, Aamir feels responsible for the safety of his crew, and hence, has appointed a special team that will monitor the safety measures being adopted on the set. The cast and crew will undergo COVID test every week, apart from the daily temperature and oximeter checks. Considering Kareena is pregnant, Aamir Khan has instructed Advait that only a skeletal crew be present on set when she is scheduled to shoot," added the source.

The release date of the film was December 25, 2020 but was postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Laal Singh Chaddha will now release on Christmas, 2021.
