The makers of Jio Studios and Aamir Khan Productions' Laapataa Ladies are all set to treat the audience with a refreshing story on March 1, 2024. Kiran Rao's directorial received a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2023. As the promotions for the movie are in full swing, the director recently revealed that her ex-husband Aamir Khan has auditioned for the role, which is now being played by Ravi Kishan.

In a conversation with ANI, Kiran Rao said that Aamir Khan liked the story and wanted to be a part of the film. She said, "Aamir loved the character and auditioned for it as well. But I felt that since he is a star, there would be more expectations from the character if he were to essay that role. Aamir was bringing a star baggage to the character. So, we wanted someone so fit for the role that you cannot make out what he does next. Ravi Kishan is amazing  I felt that there could not be a better Manohar than him.”

“In a way, Aamir helped a lot because he supported the idea of having fresh actors so that the viewers are pleasantly surprised and find some new things in the character and what Ravi Kishan brings to it. When you see stars, you understand that this is a hero and that is a villain. However, we had to keep the suspense till the end,” she said.

Laapataa Ladies stars Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava and Chhaya Kadam.
