With 'Laapataa Ladies,' Kiran Rao is returning to the director's chair after a long period of time. The film is made under the production of Aamir Khan Productions. The team of 'Laapataa Ladies' organized a special premiere of the film in Bhopal for the villagers of Sehore where the film was actually shot in a real location with the local villagers. The team also received a warm welcome from the local village band at the special premiere in Bhopal.
Similarly, yet another interesting tale from the house of The Viral Fever (TVF) is 'Panchayat.' The show has found its acceptance by the wider audience base of the nation as it narrated the story from the heartlands of India, the village. Interstingly, as 'Laapataa Ladies' and 'Panchayat' have the same backdrop of village, both the stories were shot in the same village Mahodiya in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh.
