Aamir Khan’s upcoming Laal Singh Chaddha, which is an official remake of the 1994 Hollywood blockbuster Forrest Gump, has been consistently rejected by audiences. Netizens have called for a boycott of Laal Singh Chaddha citing Aamir’s remark of intolerance in 2018 and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s ‘don’t watch our movies’ statement in the media. Amidst the chaos, Bebo now faces massive criticism for making yet another statement about the masses not knowing Forrest Gump because it’s an elitist, classist film.
While answering a question about apprehensions over signing Laal Singh Chaddha, Kareena said that they have adapted the Hollywood film for Indian screens adding that people will appreciate it as many people still haven’t seen it. Forrest Gump.
“Because the masses wouldn’t have seen Forrest Gump. It’s kind of a classy elitist movie. It’s a movie that mass people haven’t seen, so they’ll see it for a story. They won’t won’t see it because it’s a remake of Forrest Gump. Of course Aamir (Khan) did it for that but it’s also a story that people would like to see,” Kareena told News18.
However, Kareena’s statement rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Angered by his statement, netizens criticized him for despising the people of this country. While some people called out his arrogance, some people amplified the boycott trend.

“Forrest Gump is kind of an elite class movie” – Kareena.
WTF does that mean? The reaction of the interviewer, nodding clueless, is priceless thoughhttps://t.co/67JXJjAqYL— Sreeraj Arasa (@SreerajArasa) August 4, 2022
A person could spend $149 on Netflix for an entire month or the hell download it for free to watch Forrest Gump rather than spend $300 on Kareena’s movie and that too a remake!!? What could be more “elitist” here? https://t.co/pWmSGE2mci

I will not watch Laal Singh Chaddha for three reasons
1. Aamir Khan
2. The arrogance of Kareena Kapoor
3. I watched Forrest Gump pic.twitter.com/TlNWZ3VuNd— Shiv Verma (@shivverma007) August 3, 2022
On kwK, Kareena said something along the lines of Forrest Gump is for classy people while LSC is for the masses. Even Reddit is like WTF lol. Regardless of ideology/other reasons, BW needs shots like this just to get the mediocrity of Kareena and her ikks reality check!

In another interview, Kareena spoke about “cancel culture” and said she doesn’t take these things seriously. Aamir, on the other hand, asked people not to boycott his movie and urged the audience to go watch it.
