Superstar Aamir Khan on Tuesday said he is having sleepless nights ahead of the release of his much-anticipated film Laal Singh Chaddha

An official Hindi remake of the Tom Hanks-led 1994 Hollywood classic Forrest Gump, the film is scheduled to be released theatrically worldwide on Thursday. 

Khan, whose last big screen outing Thugs of Hindostan had a dull run at the box office in 2018, said his brain is in "overdrive" mode. 

"I'm really nervous about the release. I have not slept for 48 hours... My brain is in overdrive. I play chess online, read books to keep myself busy. I guess I can only sleep after 11th August. I believe both Advait Chandan (director) and I will sleep like a log post the release of the film," the 57-year-old actor said at an event here celebrating 25 years of PVR Cinemas. 

Written by Atul Kulkarni, Laal Singh Chaddha also features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh in pivotal roles. 

During the event, Khan reiterated his appeal to the audience to come to the theatres to watch the movie as it is a product of years of hardwork of a lot of people. 

"If I have hurt anybody with any actions of mine, I'm sad about it. I don't want to hurt anyone. I think if some people don't want to watch my film, I will respect that. But I would like as many people as possible to watch the film. We have put in a lot of hardwork. Filmmaking is a team effort. It's not just me," the actor said in response to a question about boycott calls against the movie on social media. -- PTI
