Working with Aamir Khan is on every actor-s bucket list. Mona Singh considers herself fortunate to have had the opportunity twice over. "It has been such a pleasure to have him watch my shots. Aamir sir marvels every time my first take is okayed, saying, -First take mein ho gaya, arre waah!- He keeps me on my toes," enthuses Singh, who has reunited with Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan on Laal Singh Chaddha after 3 Idiots 2009.

The Advait Chandan-directed venture — an official adaptation of Tom Hanks-s Forrest Gump 1994 — was among the several films that had to halt shooting in the wake of the pandemic. As the discussion around resuming shoots gains momentum, Singh can barely wait to return to the set. "After our Amritsar and Chandigarh schedules, we were supposed to head to Delhi for the next stint. But Aamir sir decided to return to Mumbai. He didn-t want to put the unit at risk. We have about 10 to 11 days of shoot left."
