Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who interacted with Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud after the screening of the movie Laapataa Ladies for the Supreme Court judges on Friday, opened up about his future plans.
The film, based on the theme of gender equality, was screened for judges, their families and officials of its registry, as part of a gender sensitisation programme.
Talking to the CJI, Aamir Khan said he decided to produce the movie, Laapataa Ladies, out of fear and desire.

The actor said during Covid-19 induced lock-down, he had the realisation that this is the last leg of his career as he was 56 then.
"I might have 15 more years of active work left, and I wanted to give back. The industry, society, and country have given me so much. I thought I could do one film a year, but as a producer, I can back multiple stories that I feel strongly about,” the actor was quoted as saying.
Aamir Khan noted that producing gives him an opportunity to offer a platform for new writers, directors, and everyone involved in the process, and added that Laapataa Ladies was the first step in that direction.
