Kiran Rao talks about his upcoming films
He revealed: “I’m working on four or five different projects. The first one is a genre film. I’m pretty excited. It’s kind of supernatural horror – my version. Then there is a kind of film noir, which is a kind of social commentary. And there’s one that’s more ”Laapataa”-esque, which is kind of a comedy drama. So there are these three films that we’re writing at the same time. There are also a couple of shows, but I’m not sure about the whole show. I have never entered. It’s not a format I’m familiar with, especially working with other people… I’ve been very spoiled in that regard. Aamir Khan The production gave me complete freedom to do what I want, and I don’t know if I would have worked so well with all the people giving me notes.’
