Abhishek Bachchan Says He Turned Down Ashutosh Gowariker바카라s Offer To Play Bhuvan In Lagaan

On the occasion of Lagaan바카라s anniversary, Aamir Khan바카라s production house shared a series of photos from the film바카라s set

Abhishek Bachchan says that he repeatedly kept turning away Ashutosh Gowariker's offer to play Bhuvan in blockbuster hit Lagaan, which was released 22 years ago. On the occasion of Lagaan바카라s 22nd anniversary, Gowariker told ETimes how he would frequent Abhishek바카라s house to convince him to play Bhuvan. But the actor was adamant about his decision to not do the role.

Lagaan, the epic sports drama바카라about a bunch of villagers competing against British officers in a game of cricket바카라 released in 2001 and emerged as a blockbuster, even landing an Oscar nomination.

Abhishek Bachchan felt he was a misfit for Lagaan. He told Etimes, 바카라I was way too raw and young to shoulder a film as epic as Lagaan. Of course, I knew it was going to be huge. But I was just not ready to be part of it.바카라 However, now Abhishek is 바카라glad바카라 that Aamir played the part and aced it.

He has no regrets about missing such an iconic film which will always be counted among the gems of Hindi cinema. In fact, it is 바카라embarrassing바카라 for him to talk about the projects he missed out on instead of focusing on the ones he did.

바카라Every film and role has its own destiny. Do you know how many actors were offered The Godfather before Marlon Brando?바카라 Junior Bachchan opined.

On the occasion of Lagaan바카라s anniversary, Aamir Khan바카라s production house shared a series of photos from the film바카라s set and wrote, 바카라A nostalgic throwback to 바카라Lagaan바카라 as we celebrate its 22-year milestone, reliving the moments that made it an iconic part of the Indian cinema. ❤️.바카라

Last year, as Lagaan completed 21 years, Aamir Khan hosted the cast, including Yashpal Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra, Raj Zutshi, Shankar Pandey, Raja Awasthi, Suhasini Mulay, Pradeep Ram Singh Rawat, and Amin Gazi, at his home. When Lagaan celebrated twenty years, Aamir thanked Ashutosh Gowarikar for giving him the opportunity to be a part of the film.
