Edited excerpts from the interview When did this germ of the idea come up? When did you feel that, okay, this is a story that I would like to tell, I would like to write? The story does not belong to me. The story was offered to me by Aamir Khan Productions and it’s written by Biplab Goswami, and they asked me if I would like to develop this into screenplay and dialogues. So it literally landed in my lap.
It was a beautifully written story so there was no way I would have said no. And also, what was your contribution? How did you contribute to making of this film? The story was given to me and the screenplay and dialogues are by me. So primarily, I think the script was the part that was assigned to me and I think I’ve done a decent job with it; those two major credits, screenplay and dialogues remain with me.
How many messages have you got ever since we came to know that Laapata Ladies is India’s official entry for the Oscars? We’ve rea.
