‘Laapataa Ladies’ Allowed Exploration: Kiran Rao

MUMBAI, (ANI) – Whistling Woods International recently hosted a special session at ‘Celebrate Cinema 2024’ with the team of ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ including director Kiran Rao, writer Sneha Desai, and actor Nitanshi Goel.

The film, which has already made waves in India, is now heading to Japan. Kiran Rao explained why she chose this project. “The story connected with me in such a way that the thought behind it inspired me. If two girls get lost, what could happen to them, and what could they learn about themselves? Also, even if they are left on their own, what all can’t they do? These were the kind of ideas that came to me when I read the script. I felt that this script would give me the opportunity to explore many different things, so I thought, let’s do this next.”

The film, which focuses on gender equality, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September last year and received a standing ovation. The film stars Ravi Kishan, Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ratna, and Sparsh Shrivastav in pivotal roles.
