    ‘Forrest Gump’ Bollywood Remake in the Works

    Paramount

    Bollywood life is like a box of chocolates.

    A Bollywood remake of “Forrest Gump” is in the works, with Indian star Aamir Khan set to take on the role made famous by Oscar winner Tom Hanks.

    The movie, titled”Lal Singh Chadha,”  will be in Hindi and directed by Advait Chandan who helmed the Khan’s 2017 musical drama “Secret Superstar.” Production is set to begin in October.

    Khan announced the project Thursday, his 54th birthday, at a media event in Mumbai.

    “We have bought the rights from Paramount,” Khan said. “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.”

    “Forrest Gump” is one of the most iconic films in cinematic history. The 1994 movie, directed by Robert Zemeckis, was a critical and commercial hit. It also won six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Hanks.

    Other upcoming Bollywood remakes include Indian versions of the teen romantic drama “The Fault in Our Stars” and the Keira Knightley music drama “Begin Again.”

  • You Need to Watch Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep Play Each Other’s Most Iconic Characters

    29th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Opening Night Screening 'The Post' & ReceptionThey’re both Oscar-winning actors, so it makes sense, then, that Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep would have no trouble slipping into different personas for the sake of a talk show bit. But watching the pair effortlessly channel some of each other’s iconic onscreen characters makes it clear that Hanks and Streep are truly in a league of their own.

    The duo, who star in Steven Spielberg’s new drama “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday to promote the flick, and Ellen couldn’t help but have some fun with the legendary actors. Asking them to perform line readings from some of the other’s most famous movies, DeGeneres handed out cue cards — and in a couple cases, some props — to help the duo along.

    Unsurprisingly, the results were nothing short of wonderful. We’re especially partial to Streep’s over the top enthusiasm playing Woody from “Toy Story,” breaking the news to Buzz Lightyear that he’s just a child’s plaything. And if for some reason Streep cannot reprise her role for a potential sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” let’s just say that Hanks is more than capable of performing an amazing Miranda Priestly impression.

    Oh, and he definitely needs to keep that fabulous Margaret Thatcher wig. That’s all.
