"I might have 15 more years of active work left," he said, adding, "I wanted to give back to people whatever I have learned in the past so many years." The actor revealed that the pandemic-induced lockdown gave him ample time for introspection, leading to this decision. A Platform for New Talent Aamir Khan's vision extends beyond acting. He aims to become a catalyst for new talent in the industry. "I thought that I could do one film a year as an actor, but as a producer, I can produce many more films. I want to give a platform to new writers, directors, and everyone involved in the process," he explained. Laapataa Ladies is the first step in this direction, with Aamir hoping to produce four to five films annually. Laapataa Ladies: A Story of Empowerment The screening of Laapataa Ladies at the Supreme Court was a significant moment for the film. The comedy-drama, directed by Kiran Rao, tackles the issue of gender equality and has already garnered critical acclaim, including a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film follows the journey of two young brides who are accidentally exchanged during a train journey.
