Mumbai, Feb 06 (ANI): Filmmaker Kiran Rao, who is set to come out with her new directorial 'Laapataa Ladies', revealed how Aamir Khan was keen on enacting the role essayed by Ravi Kishan and had even auditioned for it. Kiran Rao said, “Aamir loved the character, he auditioned as well. But I felt that since he is a star there will be expectations for the character. Aamir was bringing a star baggage. So, we wanted someone so fit in the role that you cannot make out what happens he does next. Ravi Kishan is amazing, I felt that there cannot be a better 'Manohar' than him.” “In a way, Aamir (Khan) helped a lot because he supported the idea of having fresh actors so that people are surprised and find a few things as discoveries. When you see stars, you understand that this is a hero and that is a villain...We had to keep it suspenseful till the end,” she added. She also said, "Actually, Aamir (Khan) when he was a judge at a screenwriting competition in 2018. He liked the story as soon as he read it...When he narrated it to me in one line, I felt that I had to make (a film on it) it after a little rewriting.”
