Abhishek Bachchan: I am glad Aamir Khan did Lagaan | Hindi Movie News – Times of India
Gowariker recalls how he would amble to Abhishek’s residence every two days to convince him about doing the film. But Abhishek remained certain about his uncertainty.
Abhishek recalls, “I was convinced I was not right for the part. I 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.”
So would Abhishek consider doing Lagaan now if it was offered to him? “I am glad Aamir did Lagaan. He brought so much magic and credibility to the project. Every film and role have their own destiny. Do you know how many actors were offered The Godfather before Marlon Brando? Why are we talking about this? It is embarrassing. I would rather talk about the films that I’ve done rather the ones I haven’t done.”
Nonetheless here is a list of some of the prominent films that Abhishek has rejected: Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan, Shaad Ali’s Saathiya, Mira Nair’s The Namesake and Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai.
