Kiran Rao is all set to make a comeback as a director after more than a decade with the upcoming movie Laapata Ladies (2022). The teaser of the film will be attached to the print of Aamir Khan’s keenly-awaited Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), which is due to be released on 11 August.
Produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, the movie is based on a story by Biplab Goswami. The screenplay and dialogues have been written by Sneha Desai while Divyanidhi Sharma has penned the additional dialogues.
Throwing light on the basic plot, an official statement from the makers said, “Set in 2001, somewhere in rural India, Laapataa Ladies follows the jolly mess that ensues when two young brides get lost from a train.”
While the makers haven’t revealed the names of the two actresses who play the two brides, they have shared that they will be played by newcomers. Laapata Ladies also stars Sparsh Shrivastava, Ravi Kishan and Chhaya Kadam.
This is Rao's second film as director. She made her directorial debut with Dhobi Ghaat (2011) which feature Aamir Khan, Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, and Kriti Malhotra.
While Rao and Khan announced their divorce last July after being married for 15 years, they continue to work together. Rao is also one of the producers on Laal Singh Chaddha.
