Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha (2021) is one of the films whose production was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and whose release has had to be pushed back, from Christmas this year to the next.
Shooting for Laal Singh Chaddha was recently resumed in Turkey's largest and most famous city Istanbul. Aamir Khan and the film’s crew landed in the city earlier this week. According to local media reports, the actor, who has a sizeable fan following in the country, was accorded a warm welcome.
