Aamir Khan reflected on his time during the pandemic when he decided to use 15 more years of active work to contribute more significantly to the film industry. He said, “During Covid, I had a lot of free time and used to keep thinking. I realized I might have 15 more years of active work left…uske baad zindagi kisne dekhi hai (who has seen life after that)…I wanted to give back to people whatever I have learned in the past so many years. The industry, society, and country have given me so much.” Adding more, he said, “I thought that I could do one film a year as an actor, but as a producer, I can produce many more films. I want to give a platform to new talents. I can provide a platform for new writers, directors, and everyone involved in the process. Laapataa Ladies is the first project in that sense. I want to promote this kind of talent, and hopefully, I can produce four to five films a year. I want to be the shoulder for talent.”
