Aamir has said the thought of an adaptation of Forrest Gump made him think it was a task similar to attempting a remake of Mughal-e-Azam or Mother India. Talking to Cinestaan in an interview, Aamir agreed that he was not ready to sit for a narration of Atul's script for Forrest Gump adaptation. Also, a film like Forrest Gump, which is such a cult classic, is very difficult to imagine to adapt into another film. Aamir added, "I was like, 'How dare you make me read Forrest Gump?' You are not a writer and you tell me you have written a Forrest Gump adaptation in 15 days.
