Ahead of the trailer launch of the much-awaited film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, director Advait Chandan took to his Instagram handle to pen a heartfelt note for his lead actor Aamir Khan.
Advait shared an unseen picture of Aamir and him from the sets of the film where they are seen watching something on the monitor together. The actor is seen dressed in an army uniform.
Check out his hilarious-yet-emotional post here:
In the post, Advait thanked the Bollywood superstar to be his mentor and guidance all throughout his journey. The filmmaker even goes to call him ‘mahapurush’. He wrote, ‘"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Aamir sir taught me how to fish and then he gave me a fishing net and now he has given me a fishing boat! Every now and then he gave me some free fish as well.
Elaborating further, he added, “Today as our trailer is about to go live I am filled with gratitude for this man who has encouraged me on my lowest days, calmed me on my most anxious ones, all while allowing me to be his biggest troll on most days. You're the best, sir... Lord of Catan, Grand Chess Master, Rubics Cube Meister, Life guru, a real directors actor, the best assiant director, the best continuity supervisor... The sharpest editor, the most generous producer !”
Giving his emotional post a comic twist, he concluded, “Sir, aap great, mahaan ho, swami ho, antaryaami ho… balki main toh kehta hoon sir, ke aap purush hi nahin... Mahapurush ho !!! Mahapurush…. ;-) Thank you sir, I owe you lots of fish. Advait.”
