8th May 2023, Mumbai: Naga Chaitanya, who made his Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, has recently spoken about the film’s box office failure. Despite not performing well at the box office, the actor revealed that he has no regrets being a part of the project. He shared his excitement about working with Aamir Khan and learning from him as an actor.

Naga Chaitanya, who enjoys a massive fan following in Telugu cinema, is currently busy promoting his upcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Custody. During the promotions, he finally opened up about the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor was excited to work with Aamir Khan and was thrilled to have the opportunity to travel with him and learn from him for two days.

According to the actor, there was a lot of honesty in the way Aamir Khan was working, and he followed him throughout the journey. Naga Chaitanya’s admiration for Aamir Khan was evident as he praised the latter for his work ethic and dedication.
