Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha is all set to release this week on 11 August 2022, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day. Ever since the film was announced, there has been a lot of questions going about whether the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, will have a cameo appearance in it. Now Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, reacts to these speculations.
We all know that SRK and Aamir share a great bond and there is no hiding this fact. But recently in an interview, the PK actor opened up about how he convinced King Khan to make a cameo appearance in the film Laal Singh Chaddha. He said, “Well Shah Rukh is a friend and I told him that, 'I need 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'. He was really sweet and he said, ‘Yes’.”
