Bollywood star Aamir Khan is known for his versatile and power-packed performances. None can forget his film Lagaan which gave him international recognition. The film even got Oscar nomination but lost out in the final race. But what is coming as a shocker is Aamir Khan rejected the film when director Ashutosh Gowariker narrated him the plot.
Aamir Khan himself confessed that when he heard Lagaan, he rejected the film with in five minutes into the narration. He said he felt that people couldn’t connect to the British era story which he felt was bizarre. Aamir said he asked Ashutosh to get a different story.
Ashutosh once again approached him after three months, but with the same story and with the finalized script. Aamir said even then he rejected it and told Ashutosh that though the script was fantastic, he was scared to say yes. Aamir finally signed out of respect towards Ashutosh and also after his parents asked him to do so. He said when he saw his parents in tears after Ashutosh narrated the story to them on his request, he decided to do it.
