Oops! Has Aamir Khan Forgotten About 'Lagaan'?

Thursday, 16 June 2016
The actor recently failed to remember his film’s international acclaim!
When Aamir Khan first set foot in Bollywood, his chocolate boy looks perfectly fitted the persona of a lover boy in pursuit of his heroine’s affections! And for the longest time, the actor did get slotted as the romantic hero in films, which he played with absolute aplomb. But then, the actor in him must have craved for more of a challenge, because that is when he gradually started turning towards more content driven cinema. 
In fact, his first production Lagaan, in which he also played the pivotal role, was a massive risk in those days. It was a gigantic film, with a huge cast, budget and a rather inexperienced director. But much to everyone’s surprise, the film succeeded and went to receive not just national acclaim but also became the third Indian film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. 
On the fifteenth anniversary of Lagaan‘s nomination at the Oscars, Aamir Khan was asked to share his two cents while en route to Ludhiana, however the star looked confused and surprised! “Oh, really? Main toh bhool hi gaya tha (I had completely forgotten)”, he said in an article in Mid Day.
