New York: Getting selected for the Oscars is the first step. Then comes its promotion to make everyone in the US aware of the film.
With ‘Laapataa Ladies’ being India’s official entry to the Oscars 2025, director Kiran Rao and producer Aamir Khan are going all out in their campaign.
Kiran and her former husband kicked off Oscars 2025 campaign for ‘Laapataa Ladies’ with a fun-and-food event in New York.
They chose acclaimed Indian chef Vikas Khanna’s restaurant called The Bungalow for the event, where a special screening of the film was organised.
Interestingly, Aamir and Kiran have changed the name of their film to ‘Lost Ladies’ to promote the film worldwide.
They took to Instagram to announce the name change through a new poster.
