Ashutosh Gowariker RiverReleased on 15 June 2001, it created history in more ways than one. It is most gratifying to see its enduring success Abhishek Bachchan Who was offered the role not once or twice, but at least a dozen times.
Gowariker recalls how he used to visit Abhishek every two days to persuade him to do the film. But Coronation Be sure of your uncertainty.
Abhishek recalls, “I was sure I was not right for the role. I was too raw and young to produce an epic film like Lagaan. Of course, I knew it was going to be huge. But I Wasn’t ready to be a 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 has its own destiny. Do you know how many actors were offered The Godfather before Marlon Brando? Why are we talking about this? it is a shame. I would rather talk about the films that I have done than the films that I have not done.
