Kiran Rao is sitting in the director바카라™s chair after a span of almost 13 years. She will be directing her second film 바카라˜Laapataa Ladies,바카라™ which her ex-husband-actor Aamir Khan is co-producing. Starring Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Chhaya Kadam, and Ravi Kishan in pivotal roles, the film has become one of the highly-anticipated films of 2024, especially after its massive applause at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. 

Busy with the promotions of the film, they graced the stage of the 바카라˜News18 India Chaupal바카라™ event, wherein they shed light on 바카라˜Laapataa Ladies,바카라™ as well as what it is like collaborating professionally after their divorce.

For those unversed, Khan and Kiran Rao tied the knot in 2005 and announced their separation in 2021. They co-parent their son, Azad Rao Khan. 

Speaking about working together post their divorce, the actor said (translated), 바카라œHas a doctor said that when a divorce happens, you immediately become enemies? I consider myself very fortunate that Kiran entered my life, and our journey has been very fulfilling, especially 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 connected that way. We are like a family.바카라

Elsewhere in the conversation, the 바카라˜Laal Singh Chaddha바카라™ actor stated that he is very much open to doing romantic films. He stated that he believes getting romantic films at his age is pretty uncommon, and added that, 바카라œKahani ke hisaab se agar main character suit hua toh kyun nahi karna chahunga? Har genre karna chahunga. Par age-wise thoda suitable hona chahiye. Suddenly main 18 ho gaya hoon, woh nahi karna chahunga (Once I read the story, and if I feel that I am suitable to play the main character, then why wouldn바카라™t I want to do it? I want to explore each and every genre. But, the only catch is, it should be age-suited. I wouldn바카라™t want to suddenly play the role of an 18 year old).바카라

Coming back to their upcoming collaboration, 바카라˜Laapataa Ladies바카라™ will see a theatrical release on March 1, 2024.
