Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan says that he watched Kalki Koechlin-starrer “Margarita With A Straw” on being persuaded by his wife Kiran Rao and was floored by it. Aamir launched the trailer of the film here on Wednesday.
“Margarita with a straw” is the story of Laila, played by Kalki, who is suffering from Cerebral Palsy and shows how she still manages to go abroad and live her life. Kiran (Rao) applauded the film a lot and I believe her taste is very good. I’ve heard a lot from her so I knew it will be a very beautiful film,” Aamir said.
“When I saw the film I was just floored with it. This film will make you think, make you happy, cry and at the end it will leave you in a celebratory mood . It also inspires you. It is very lovely and very well made film,” he added.
Meanwhile, on a lighter note, when he was asked what else his wife Kiran makes him do, Aamir blushed and said: “There is no such thing that I can refuse. Actually Kiran is a lovely person it’s very difficult to refuse her, It’s extremely difficult to refuse anything she says. So, I quite enjoy listening to her because most of the time it’s for my own good.”
Leading Actress Kalki Koechlin, who essays the role of affected girl in Shonali Bose’s directorial “Margarita With A Straw”, says the audition for this film was toughest for her and she took it as a test for herself.
“I loved the script. Shonali (Bose) e-mailed it to me and immediately I wrote back to her that I loved the script. It scared the hell out of me that she could even think that I could do this,” Kalki told reporters here Wednesday at the trailer launch of the film.(IANS)
