Hazel Keech To Star In Aamir Khan's Daughter Ira Khan's Debut Play Euripides' Medea

Actress Hazel Keech will essay a role in the English play "Euripides' Medea", which marks the directorial debut of Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan.

Ira on Monday had took to Instagram and uploaded a photograph of herself with Hazel. In the image, Aamir's daughter is on her knees, offering the play's script to Hazel, who is seen accepting it.

"She said yes! It's amazing to get to work with you, as a friend but more importantly as an actor, Hazel Keech. I can't wait to see what we make.” Ira wrote in post. 

The play's Instagram bio reads: "Euripides' Medea" is one of the most popular Greek tragedies. Join us as we journey back to the 4th century BC and partake in this classic tale."

Veteran actress Sarika, who has turned a theatre producer, will back the play. The actress told Hindustan Times in an interview, “Ira called me and said ‘I’m directing a play and I want you to act in it’. But I told her that I won’t be able to, as I’m no longer in the acting space. Then I thought why not produce it and that’s how I came on board. The play Euripides’ Medea is not only a classic, but is also a script which is very appealing. It has a lot of layers and is complex.”

“The thing I liked the most is that something so ancient is being directed by someone so young. Looking at it through the eyes of the new generation is nice, and Ira is looking at it in an interesting way, from whatever I have seen so far.”

Unlike the conventional choice of star kids to get into acting, Aamir Khan’s daughter has taken on the role of a director. She keeps posting updates about her debut production Instagram and has already released a poster for it.
