Hansal Mehta slams FFI after ‘Laapataa Ladies’ misses Oscars shortlist
'Laapataa Ladies' was India's official entry for the Best International Feature category at the 2025 Oscars but did not make the shortlist.
Rajkummar Rao and Hansal Mehta have come together for their sixth collaboration, Turram Khan. After highly acclaimed Shahid, which marked Rao’s first collaboration with Mehta, the duo went on to collaborate in Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Aligarh, City Lights, Omerta and the web-series Bose: Dead or Alive.
Turram Khan is a social comedy, a genre Mehta is still exploring and perfecting, after he directed Kangana Ranaut starrer Simran in 2017.
