Kiran Rao hits back at Sandeep Reddy Vanga for calling out Aamir Khan's Dil of promoting misogyny: 'He should talk...'

Filmmaker and ex-wife of Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao is currently gearing up for the release of Laapataa Ladies, which is set to hit the screens on 1st March. In a recent interview, she responded to Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s claims and said that has not flagged any misogyny done by her ex-husband Aamir Khan through her movies in the 90s. Rao said Aamir is one of the few actors, who apologised for their misogyny work in the past. She said that the Laal Singh Chaddha actor apologised on his show Satyamev Jayate for the suggestive song Khambe Jaise Khadi Hai from Indra Kumar’s Dil featuring him and Madhuri Dixit. “There are very few people who would look back at their body of work and apologise for doing something problematic in retrospect. And that’s really laudable,” said Rao to Quint.

She added, “If Mr. Vanga has something to tell Aamir, he should tell him man to man. I’m not responsible for Aamir’s work or Aamir Khan. I wish Mr. Reddy would address his questions directly to Mr. Khan.” Talking about Laapataa Ladies, the recently released trailer gave a glimpse into the uproarious comedy adventure of the film’s world, featuring the promising lead cast of Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastav, and Nitanshi Goel, promising a beautiful world from the director with the story rooted in the Indian form. As the set up and the locations are shown in the trailer have also caught the attention of the masses and to keep the authenticity of the film alive, Kiran Rao has shot the film ‘ _Laapataa Ladies_ ‘ at the real locations of Sehore, Madhya Pradesh. Kiran Rao cast the real villagers of Sehore and has also shot in the real houses as the location.
