Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ failed miserably at the box office. While a lot has been said and done about the debacle, the one person who is yet to speak up is the actor himself. Khan, as he continues to follow the tradition of Paryushan Parva, a Jain festival, appears to have finally broken his silence.
His production house released an audio clip on social media, which begins with ‘Michhami Dukkadam’. The Prakrit phrase means, “If I have offended you in any way, knowingly or unknowingly, in thought, word or deed, then I seek your forgiveness.” Aamir has been following the practice for many years now.
The words in the clip say, “Hum sab insaan hai, aur galityan insaan se hoti hai. Kabhi bol se, kabhi harkaton mein, kabhi mazak mein….Agar maine kissi tarah se aapka dil dukhaya hai, toh…man vachan, kaaya se sama mangte ho…” The voice is not that of the actor.
A remake of the Hollywood classic ‘Forrest Gump’, ’Laal Singh Chaddha’ flopped miserably at the box office. It was a project that took 10 years in production and three years for filming, and since its release, there has been silence from the star. The movie was released on August 11 to mixed reviews and went on to become Aamir’s biggest flop in over a decade. There are also reports of the actor forgoing his fee for the movie.
