Actress Kareena Kapoor is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'Laal Singh Chaddha' in which she'll be seen sharing screen with her '3 Idiots' co-stars Aamir Khan and Mona Singh. In a recent promotional interview for the same, Kareena revealed that she had to give an audition for her role as Laal Singh Chaddha's love interest.

She told Prabhat Khabar, "Aamir does not work like that. He never says do this film because I am also in it. He always says ‘listen to the story first of all’. He asked me to listen to a narration for this film as well. He gave me a four-hour-long narration and that is why I said yes to Laal Singh Chaddha."

The actress further added, "I had to even give an audition for Laal Singh Chaddha. It was so that I could prove I am apt for the role, and I am perfect for the older part.” Directed by Advait Chauhan, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is an official remake of 1994 Academy Award winning film 'Forrest Gump' which starred Tom Hanks in the lead.

'Laal Singh Chaddha' was supposed to release earlier this year but makers decided to postpone it in order to avoid clash with 'KGF: Chapter 2'. The film will now release on 11th of August.
