Among the many remarkable films from Aamir Khan Productions, Laapataa Ladies stands out as one of the most engaging and beloved. Known for bringing impactful and thought-provoking stories to the screen, the production house has also introduced some unforgettable characters. Recently, Aamir Khan Talkies released unseen footage from the film’s casting diaries, featuring Aamir Khan auditioning for the role of Sub-Inspector Shyam Manohar.

While Laapataa Ladies primarily revolves around Phool, Jaya, and Deepak, it was Sub-Inspector Shyam Manohar who left a lasting impression on audiences. The newly released footage showcases Aamir Khan’s screen test for the role, which was ultimately played by Ravi Kishan.

This behind-the-scenes glimpse into the casting process reveals an intriguing “what if” scenario for fans, as Aamir’s interpretation of the role adds another layer of fascination to the film.

Aamir Khan has always been known for his remarkable transformations, and his preparation for the role of a cop in Laapataa Ladies was no different. From sculpting an eight-pack physique for Ghajini to undergoing dramatic weight fluctuations for Dangal, from convincingly playing a villager in Lagaan to seamlessly portraying a college student in 3 Idiots, and even adopting an untamed, rugged look in Thugs of Hindostan, he has consistently committed to his roles with incredible dedication.

His ability to physically and emotionally embody diverse characters has been a defining aspect of his career.
