Salman Khan lauds Kiran Rao's new film 'Laapataa Ladies', a satirical comedy, but calls it her "debut as a director"

New Delhi: Kiran Rao's new film 'Laapataa Ladies', a satirical comedy, has garnered great appreciation from Salman Khan. The actor did, however, also refer to the movie as her "debut as a director" with his glowing review of it.

Salman Khan lauds Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies

Salman Khan took to his X (previously known as Twitter) handle on Wednesday and wrote, “Just saw Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies. Wah wah (wow) Kiran. I really enjoyed it and so did my father. Congrats on your debut as a director, superb job. Kab kaam karogi mere saath (When will you work with me)?”

Many X users praised Salman for backing a small budget movie like 'Laapataa Ladies'. Meanwhile, some were quick to point out that it is not Kiran's first film as a director. 

Aamir Khan, Kiran's former husband and co-producer on 'Laapataa Ladies', is good friends with Salman. Salman and Aamir are popular for their on-screen collaboration in Rajkumar Santoshi's buddy comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna' from 1994. Recently, both the actors were spotted giving a performance at the grand Ambani bash, a celebration hosted as part of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding festivities. 

Laapataa Ladies plot

A police inspector named Manohar (Ravi Kishan) decides to look into the missing woman's case in 'Laapataa Ladies', a story about two young brides who get separated on a train journey in rural India in 2001.

At the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023, the film received a warm reception with a standing ovation. The production company behind hits like 'Delhi Belly', 'Dangal', and 'Peepli Live', Aamir Khan Productions, produced 'Laapataa Ladies'. The movie was released in theatres on March 1.

Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, and Aamir featured in the movie. Kiran has worked for Aamir Khan Productions for many years as a producer.
