Amir also shared one of his interesting ways of of observing the genuine reaction of the audience to his films. He said,” I walk around in different theatres to watch the audience’s genuine reaction to the film. The audience doesn’t know that I am present in the hall. For the first week, I visit different cities and different halls to get the unfiltered reaction of the audience from the projection window or from the side doors. It depends on the theatre, where the hiding spot is better. Through this, I get an unfiltered response from the audience. If the audience knew that I am present in the hall, then the reaction may be different, but I want to experience a natural response from the public.”
Lal Singh Chaddha is the official Hindi adaptation of Forrest Gump. The film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.
