Aamir Khan had almost turned down "Lagaan"

MUMBAI: After almost a year, Aamir Khan will make an appearance in a television show hosted by Karan Johar.

The show is a celebration of 100 years of Indian cinema. The show hosted by Karan Johar defines the glorious moments of Indian cinema and Indian film celebrities.

Aamir Khan, in this special episode talks about his most career defining moments. He talks about the Oscar-nominated 'Lagaan' and how he was the first one to turn it down when director Ashutosh Gowariker narrated it to him. He called the film 'stupid', until Ashutosh Gowariker narrated him till he got convinced. The rest, as we all know is history!

Apart from that, Aamir Khan also talked about how he selects his roles as an actor. The last time Aamir Khan appeared on a television show was when he hosted a reality show discussing social issues.

Currently, the actor has 'Dhoom 3: Back In Action' and 'P.K.' lined up for release.

Aamir Khan and Karan Johar in a conversation. Well something brews well even without a cup of coffee, doesn't it?


Catch "Aamir Decoded" with Karan Johar on 30th June at 9 pm IST on History TV18

I am not going to miss this show, one thing for sure he avoided a big mistake.


He has let go some really big film earlier e.g. Daar, Ham Apke hain Kuan, Sajan, 1942 A Love story

I miss Koffee with karan so much and now there's so many newbies I would love to see on KWK like Parineeti.

But damn! Aamir known for picking the best scripts, he's got a niche for things like that. Glad he didn't, he was meant to play the role. I still remember when Ashu G wanted Sonali Bendre to play Gauri and Aamir said no--wise decisions b/c Gracy was meant for that role too. Well-casted film.
