From the day trailer of Laal Singh Chaddha has been released, #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha has trended multiple times. Finally, a couple of days ago, Aamir broke silence on the trend and requested people to not boycott his movie and watch it. He said, “I feel sad that some of the people who are saying this, in their hearts, believe that I am someone who doesn’t like India. But it is untrue. It is rather unfortunate that some people feel that way. That’s not the case. Please don’t boycott my film. Please watch my film.”

Aamir is 57 years old and Mona Singh is 40 years old. In Laal Singh Chaddha, Mona plays the role of Aamir’s mother and Bollywood has always been target of ageism as people feel that after a certain age actresses start getting roles of mother. While talking to Pinkvilla, Aamir opened up about it and said, “Age specefic kya hota hai actor ke liye? Actor ka toh yeh kamaal hota hai ke woh kuch bi age ka ho aur kuch bi age lage.” He further also stated that while watching the film you will feel Mona is looking so young, and then later you will feel she is looking so old, and that’s her brilliance.
