Kiran Rao, Director Of India’s Oscar Entry ‘Lost Ladies’, Talks Awards Race & The 13-Year Journey To Making Her Second Film
Lost Ladies, India's Oscar entry, marks Kiran Rao's first film after nearly 13 years. The film was produced by Aamir Khan, Jyoti Deshpande & Rao.
“There was great potential in this script not just to entertain, but to spark many conversations that I am deeply invested in, through the lens of comedic satire, about women’s freedoms, gender roles and the importance of education.” “There was a lot of workshopping and sharing between the younger cast who had never done a film before and actors like Chhaya Kadam, who plays the lady at the tea stall, and Ravi Kishan, who was the cop, who were much more experienced,” says Rao. “Kiran was coming back after a very long hiatus and hungry to prove herself,” says producer Jyoti Deshpande, who is President of the Media & Content Business at Reliance Industries.
