Aamir Sir's gesture was totally unexpected'

'The amount of warmth I received from Aamir Sir during the shooting of Laal Singh Chaddha is very difficult to describe in words.'

Naga Chaitanya's film Love Story, where he romances Sai Pallavi, releases on September 24. Before the release, the star speaks to Subhash K Jha about the movie, his association with Aamir Khan and his forthcoming film with his father, Nagarjuna.

Aamir Khan had some wonderful things to say about you on the stage in Hyderabad.

It was a truly unforgettable gesture. He didn't have to be there and he didn't have to say the things that he did. It was totally unexpected. Aamir Sir saw the trailer of Love Story, and he said he wanted to be there to support the team. Having him there at the event was magical! He is too kinda person. The amount of warmth I received from him during the shooting of Laal Singh Chaddha is very difficult to describe in words.

What was it like shooting with Aamir in Ladakh?

Lal Singh Chaddha is my debut in Hindi. And I'm so glad it happened with Aamir Sir. It all happened very organically. I first got a call from his office. Then, in the night, Aamir Sir spoke to me over a video call. I flew to Mumbai and spoke some lines in front of him. Then, the dates went haywire because of the pandemic. We were supposed to shoot in Turkey. But that didn't happen. We ended up shooting in Kargil. Fortunately, everything fell into place eventually.
