‘Laapataa Ladies’ misses Oscar shortlist; Aamir Khan responds
India’s official entry for Oscars' International Film category, Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ (Lost Ladies) misses the shortlist. Aamir Khan productions responds.
From sketching the idea of ‘Tur Kalleyan’ to eventually executing the song and releasing it, the musical journey of Laal Singh Chaddha was lengthy yet rich and harmonious.
Several verses of ‘Tur Kalleyan’ came down to zero and nothing yet both makers & composers kept on trying to build the song that reflected the transformational journey of Laal Singh Chaddha.

The making of ‘Tur Kalleyan’ from its music to the video was long and overtaxing at times. Towards the end, the makers had around 8-10 verses of the song. Even in the video, Aamir Khan mentioned “ We can make an entire Album on the different tunes of ‘Tur Kalleyan’ ”.
There were times when the composers and lyricists found it difficult to come down to a track that simplified the feeling of Laal Singh who goes through a rough patch. And Aamir Khan was undergoing a knee treatment way before the shoot of the song.
Despite all the odds, the team of Laal Singh Chaddha executed the longest sequence from the film and achieved the true meaning of the song.
‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios, also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni. It is an official remake of Forrest Gump. The film will be released on 11 August.
