Kiran Rao claims that she was inspired to write “Laapataa Ladiles” when Aamir Khan offered her a one-liner about two females on a train

Fourteen years after helming “Dhobi Ghaat,” Kiran Rao is returning to the director’s chair. Although it has been a very long time, Kiran said in an interview that she was waiting for the ideal screenplay to inspire her to direct. She also acknowledged that ‘Laapataa Ladies’ began when Aamir casually gave her a one-liner about two gals on a train who get switched, and she became engrossed in it.

In a PTI interview, the filmmaker said that she still needed to find the ideal screenplay for her next movie. However, Aamir had left to supervise a screenplay competition. Kiran believed it was a terrific chance for her to direct, in addition to being a great tale, when he offered her this one-liner screenplay concept when he returned.

Rao said she was working on a screenplay for her next movie, but she still hadn’t come up with the perfect concept. After Aamir Khan returned after supervising a screenplay competition, that was different. “Aamir told me a one-liner about two girls on a train and how they get switched,” she stated after returning home. I was hooked after that. I saw that this was a fantastic chance for me as well as a fantastic narrative.

She went on to say that while she wouldn’t normally create a narrative like this, she felt she could add something unique to it. The filmmaker said that although though the movie touches on a wide range of topics, they deliberately tried to keep it lighthearted and enjoyable.
