In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kiran Rao, director of Laapataa Ladies, candidly discussed her relationship with ex-husband Aamir Khan. She admitted to “shamelessly using” Aamir’s star power to ensure the success of her “small film” at the box office.
When a reporter asked her if Aamir’s star power helps promote the film easily, Kiran Rao said, “Absolutely! I toh fully use him. I use his star power wherever I can. I’m like, you’re here; please stand there and give us three pictures. Because we have a small film and I need to do everything I can to tell people. Bhaiya, pehli March ko aaraha hain. Dekhiye Aamir Khan ne banaya hain. Inka film hain, aaiye. (Brother, the film is coming out on March 1. Aamir Khan made the film so watch it.) I use him (Aamir Khan), shamelessly.”
Previously, Aamir and Kiran also attended News18 India Chaupal when they opened up on their film and talked about working with Rao after the divorce. “Has a doctor said that when a divorce happens, you immediately become enemies? I consider myself fortunate that Kiran came into my life, and our journey has been very fulfilling for me. We have created a lot together, both personally and professionally, and we will continue to move forward together. We are connected on a human and emotional level, and we will always be. We are like a family,” he said.
Presented by Jio Studios, Laapataa Ladies is directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande. The film will be released in theatres on March 1, 2024, and has been made under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, with the script based on an award-winning story by Biplab Goswami.
Meanwhile, the special screening of the film was attended by several Bollywood celebrities like Karan Johar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Amol Parashar, Ali Fazal, Radhika Apte, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Sayani Gupta among others in Mumbai.
