The 2022 film Laal Singh Chaddha received mixed reviews amid boycott calls on social media. During an interview with PTI, Turkish envoy Firat Sunel said that he watched the Aamir Khan starrer four times.
He said, "I am a fan of Bollywood movies and my favorite actor is Aamir Khan. Laal Singh Chaddha, I have watched this movie at least four times. It is an adaptation of Forrest Gump. But this movie, for me, is more successful than the original one."
"When you watch Bollywood movies, you also see the Indian lifestyle and background. You learn so much about India and Indian people, so that's why Bollywood is getting more and more successful," he added.
The film was shot in Turkiye and that made him realize many similarities between Indian and Turkish culture. Explaining his point, Sunel talked about the opening scene of the movie where the titular hero, played by Khan, traveling in a train is seen offering golgappas to fellow passengers before having it himself.
