'The story connected with me': Kiran Rao beams with joy as her film 'Laapataa Ladies' is India's official entry for Oscars 2025

Speaking to a news agency she said, "The story connected with me in such a way that the thought behind it inspired me. If two girls get lost, what could happen to them, and what could they learn about themselves? Also, even if they are left on their own, what all can't they do? These were the kind of ideas that came to me when I read the script. I felt that this script would allow me to explore many different things, so I thought, let's do this next." Sep 23, 2024
