“Forrest Gump” Getting A Bollywood Remake
Indian superstar Aamir Khan is set to lead “Lal Singh Chadha,” a Bollywood remake of the Tom Hanks-led, Oscar-winning classic “Forrest Gump” for Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Films.
Speaking at a media event in Mumbai, Khan says: “We have bought the rights from Paramount. I have always loved Forrest Gump as a script. It is a wonderful story about this character. It is a feel-good film. It is a film for the whole family.”
The Hindi-language film will be directed by Advait Chandan (“Secret Superstar”) and filming begins later this year. Robert Zemeckis helmed 1994 original which won six Oscars including Best Picture.
The announcement follows on from other recent Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films including ones based on “Chef,” “Knight and Day,” and a just wrapped filming spin on “The Fault in Our Stars”.

Winston Groom, the author of the book, didn't like the movie. In fact, the first line of the book is "Being an idiot is no box of chocolates," not "Life is like a box of chocolates." In the sequel, Gump and Co., Gump says "Don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story."

I still haven't read the book, but I've heard great things about it. I kind of don't want to, because I love the movie. But at that same time, I would like to see how they differ.

I didn’t read it either, but I think there are some significant differences.
