Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao attended the screening of their film Laapataa Ladies at the Supreme Court on Friday, 9 August. During the event, Aamir spoke about his decision to produce the film. As per a report by ANI, Aamir said that he wanted to give back to the society.

"During Covid, I had a lot of free time and used to keep thinking. I realised that I might have 15 more years of active work left...uske baad zindagi kisne dekhi hai (Who has seen life after that?)...I wanted to give back to people whatever I have learned in the past so many years. The industry, society, and country have given me so much," ANI quoted the actor as saying.

"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 talents. I can provide a platform for new writers, directors, and everyone involved in the process. Laapataa Ladies is the first project in that sense. I want to promote this kind of talent, and hopefully, I can produce four to five films a year. I want to be the shoulder for talent," he added.

The screening of the film was held to commemorate the 75th year of the Supreme Court.
