Break a leg: Aamir wishes daughter on her directorial debut

Notably, Ira's play is an Indian adaptation of a classic Greek play by the same name, written by ancient tragedian Euripides.

It is centered around a woman's desire for a calculated revenge against her unfaithful husband.

Ira's version stars Yuvraj Singh's actor wife Hazel Keech in the titular role.

The play also has Aamir's son Junaid, Varun Patel, and Sabreen Baker portraying other roles.

Speaking about why she chose direction over acting, Ira had once told HT, "I've always felt more comfortable and enthusiastic about working off-stage or behind the camera rather than in front of it."

"I have never felt the inclination to act except if it were in an action film, so I get to learn all the cool stunts," she had comically added.

Meanwhile, Aamir was recently spotted at a shooting location in Jaisalmer, sporting an unkempt and shaggy look for his upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha. His pictures from the sets have gone viral.

Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh... is a Hindi remake of Hollywood classic Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks.

The Bollywood version, also featuring Kareena Kapoor, is slated to release on Christmas, 2020.
