Aamir told how Kiran made this film.
Aamir Khan told that ‘This script came to me first. This script came to me in a competition. I was the jury of that competition. I knew Kiran was looking for a script for a long time. She is a good writer. She had written many stories and she used to tell me the stories every second-third month, then I gave her this script. Both of us liked it very much.
Aamir Khan gave screen test
Aamir Khan said- Kiran said- ‘Okay, you are a very big star. My film is small, you will disassemble it. I said, you take a screen test to see if I can do it or not. After watching the screen test, we both discussed what expectations would be expected from me when I would come as a star. Kiran further said – Aamir said that I will change my entire appearance, then I said, what is the benefit of you being in the film?
Aamir-Kiran clash with each other
Kiran further says that Ravi Kishan brings rawness to the film. After which Aamir says that ‘Anyway Ravi was my idea. Kiran says- No, it was my idea. After which it becomes ‘Tu-Tu-Main-Main’ between the two.
How was the experience with the new star cast?
Kiran said, ‘Working with a new star cast has its own fear and many things, it’s all a new package because you yourself don’t know how they will do. We did a lot of workshops and rehearsals with all the actors. The children did a lot of Bhojpuri rehearsals.
narrated shooting experience
Talking about rehearsals, Aamir said that I do the most rehearsals. Let me tell you a story from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. ‘It was my first film and I was shooting in Filmcity. My cousin Nujat was with me, director Mansoor was setting up the set outside. I, Nujat, Jurshi and probably Reena were sitting in the make-up room. It was a day scene and an evening shoot, so there was a gap of 1-2 hours. Because it was a night scene, we were waiting for the sun to set. During that break, some shooting was going on outside the make-up room. Voices started coming, lights started coming on, sounds of action started coming and actor’s rehearsals started. That actor said that line 100-200 times. After one point I said who is rehearsing so much? I went there and opened the door and saw that Amit ji was rehearsing. I was a big fan of his at that time. I sat there on the side and started watching how hard he was working for a scene. He was so focused and working so hard. There were no monitors at that time. Prakash ji was the director and he said that the scene was done, the scene was changing but he was stuck in it. He went to Prakash ji and started talking to him. That was the biggest lesson for me. There is no end to rehearsals.
Kiran Rao was assistant director in Lagaan
The set of this film is said to be in 2001. Aamir and Kiran met on the sets of 2001 film Lagaan. Kiran had assisted this film. The set of 2001 is also shown in Missing Ladies. Kiran told that ‘this was done because there were no phones at that time. Both the girls have been missing for four days. So in today’s time it is difficult to get lost, that is why the set of that time was taken.
