Commenting on the occasion, Rao shared,”I am so delighted that the world premiere of our film, Laapataa Ladies (Lost Ladies) is going to be at the Toronto International Film Festival. I have very fond memories of TIFF. It’s such a wonderful audience-driven festival, and I will always remember the warmth and love that we got from them.”
She further mentioned, “I feel very fortunate that my second film, once again produced by Aamir Khan Productions and this time with Jio Studios on board, will also begin its journey there”.
Aamir Khan, who has bankrolled the film, said, “Kiran has made a gem of a film which I hope is going to connect strongly with audiences all across. Can’t wait for the premiere of our film Laapataa Ladies at TIFF”.
Rao’s last directorial was Dhobi Ghat in 2010.
