Aamir Khan made the announcement during a press meet on his birthday yesterday, where he added that he will be undergoing a physical transformation for the role as well.  

While Aamir Khan has definitely given stellar movies in the past, adapting a classic like Forrest Gump is no easy feat. And Twitterati was definitely divided on whether Aamir would be able to pull it off: 

Tom Hanks gave one of his finest performances as the lead, and it will definitely be a tough act to follow for Aamir.
