PIX: Aamir celebrates 10 years of Lagaan
Amitabh Bachchan, who played the narrator in Lagaan, made a quick dash at the party. Aamir shared an anecdote with the media: "I remember Ashuotsh asked me to get Amitabh Bachchan as the film's narrator.
Back then, I was a little scared to speak to him. But I approached him and to my surprise, even without reading the script, he gave a nod. I was relieved. But two weeks later, I got a shock when Ashutosh said he didn't want Amitabh, as he found his voice very recognizable. I somehow gathered some courage and told Amitji that my director thought that your voice didn't suit the movie.
"Amitji was relieved as whenever he had lent his voice to any movie, the movie would bomb at the box office," Aamir laughed.
"But after a month, Ashutosh told me he needed Amitabh! I told him he had gone mad. I called Amitji and fixed a meeting again. For the second time, he agreed to do the film without any hesitation," Aamir said.
