Aamir Khan's 'Lal Singh Chaddha' to revolve around Babri Masjid episode

Aamir Khan's upcoming film, the Hindi remake of iconic movie, Forrest Gump is poised to meticulously portray the true story of partition. 

The movie that will be renamed Lal Singh Chaddha will revolve around a number of sensitive areas of Indian history, including the demolition of Babri Masjid and Operation Bluestar.

A source which has close ties to the writers states, “The whole point of doing Forrest Gump in Hindi is to transpose the original into Indian soil. Brutal aspects of Indian history cannot be swept under the carpet. They would have to be carefully probed.”
