He reflected on his time during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he decided to use his remaining active years to contribute more significantly to the film industry.
“During Covid, I had a lot of free time and used to keep thinking. I realised that I might have 15 more years of active work left…uske baad zindagi kisne dekhi hai….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. 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 platform to new talents. I can provide a platform for new writers, directors, and everyone involved in the process,” Aamir Khan explained during an interaction with Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud.
“`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,” he said.
