Over seven years after her directorial debut Dhobi Ghat (2011), Kiran Rao has finally begun work on her next film. Aamir Khan's wife is currently developing the script.

In an interview with IANS on Thursday, the director said, "I am focusing on my writing really, apart from my involvement in the MAMI (Mumbai Academy of Moving Image) Mumbai Film Festival. I know it has been quite some time that I have not made a film and kept giving excuses that my baby is small, but I think this is high time that I have to put it (a film) out there."
