He said, “After we finished filming ‘Maharaj,’ we were working on another project at Aamir Khan Productions. Kiran Rao was making ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ and Dad was talking about retiring. He told me, ‘I’m retiring, why don’t you take over?’ That’s when I decided to step in. I believe I have a good grasp of production, even though it’s one of the toughest jobs in filmmaking.”
