When I meet her I will ask her,” he added. Post Manikarnika’s release, Kangana had attacked her contemporaries and other actors in Bollywood for not backing her film. The actress had said that she did not receive any open appreciation from any leading names in the Hindi film industry despite critics having lauded her performance in the film. “This is a very strange sort of a racket. I don’t know what they are threatened by,” Kangana had also said. Aamir was speaking to the reporters on his 54th birthday. The actor also announced his next project, _Lal Singh Chaddha_ , an official Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks’ classic Forrest Gump, which he will co-produce with Viacom18 Motion Pictures. The film will be directed by Secret Superstar helmer Advait Chandan_._ (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
