Aamir Khan Vs. Ravi Kishan as the inspector in 'Laapata Ladies'- OG daroga ji seems to have choosen a winner

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently launched his YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies, and as one of his first uploads, he shared his audition tape for the role of police inspector Shyam Manohar in Laapataa Ladies. The video quickly gained attention, sparking discussions among fans about his performance versus that of actor Ravi Kishan, who ultimately played the role in the film.

The clip showcased Aamir embodying the character in his signature style, complete with added mannerisms and a rustic touch. He was even seen chewing paan to get into the role. While many admired his transformation, most fans agreed that Ravi Kishan was the better fit. Viewers commented that Aamir made the right decision by stepping aside for Ravi, who delivered a more natural and engaging performance.

A meme page on Facebook further fueled the discussion by sharing side-by-side images of both actors in their inspector look. The post read, “Aamir Khan auditioned for Ravi Kishan’s role in Laapataa Ladies but didn’t take the role because Ravi’s audition was better!” Ravi Kishan himself acknowledged the post by sharing it on his official Facebook page. Later, he added a video captioned, “Aamir Khan auditioned for my role but was rejected.” His lighthearted response resonated with fans, who flooded the comments with praise for his performance. Some even pointed out that Aamir, known for his perfectionism, also agreed that Ravi Kishan suited the role better.

Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan, tells the story of two brides mistakenly switched during a train journey in 1990s rural India. The film featured newcomers Sparsh Srivastava, Nitanshi Goel, and Pratibha Ranta in key roles. Though it did not achieve massive box office success, it won widespread critical acclaim and performed exceptionally well at award shows.

The film’s heartwarming storytelling and strong performances earned appreciation from audiences and critics alike, making it a standout project in recent Bollywood cinema.
