When inquired about the changes made from the original to fit in the Indian audience, Aamir told Prabhat Khabar, “Laal Singh Chaddha is majorly inspired by the original, Forrest Gump. However, we have made some changes to suit the sensibilities of the Indian audiences. The Hollywood film had a few adult scenes, we did not take those in our film. We want that people watch our film with their entire families.”
