The actress, who recently attended the prestigious 54th International Film Festival Of India in Goa, revealed that Aamir wanted all his actors to be on set and not leave for the entire shooting period. She further disclosed that there was a date clash, and Aamir didn’t allow her to leave the set even for 10-15 days so she had to turn down Lagaan. Rani said, “The only film which I could say I was unfortunate that I couldn’t be part of was Lagaan because there was a particular date clash and Aamir was turning producer with the film, and he said that ‘Rani I am shooting this film in a particular way, so I want all my actors in this particular place for 6 months and not move’”.
“I also asked the other producers if they would be okay if I left the film because I would really like to do Aamir’s film, he’s a close friend of mine. But the producer refused to let me go. It was very sad,” the actress recalled.
On the 15th of June, Lagaan completed its 22 years, and on this day, Aamir's production house shared a sweet note. The note read, “A nostalgic throwback to 'Lagaan' as we celebrate its 22-year milestone, reliving the moments that made it an iconic part of the Indian cinema. #AamirKhan @iamgracysingh #RachelShelley @aditya_lakhia_official @iyashpalsharma raghubir_y @paulblackthorne #rajendranathzutshi #dayashankarpandey #AshutoshGowariker @arrahman
