Aamir Khan's ambitious project, Laal Singh Chaddha, is among the many films that have been impacted by the lockdown. Last month, mid-day had reported that the Advait Chandan-directed venture, originally slated for a Christmas 2020 release, is likely to hit the screens in 2021. The deferral of the superstar's cherished project has had a domino effect on his other films. It is learnt that the Hindi adaptation of Vikram Vedha, which was to go on floors in February 2021, has now been pushed by the actor.

A trade source reveals, "Almost 40 per cent of Laal Singh Chaddha remains to be shot. Aamir is certain that he will not return to the set until the situation improves. He does not want to risk the safety of the cast and crew at any cost. In all likelihood, he will resume shooting only after October and is eyeing a Christmas 2021 release for the film. He has informed Neeraj Pandey, who is producing Vikram Vedha, that he will begin work on the thriller only after the release of Laal Singh Chadha."
