On Friday, Aamir Khan’s production house shared a video of the intimate celebrations of the Lagaan team. It was shared with the caption, “#21YearsOfLagaan.”

In the clip, Aamir, Ashutosh Gowariker, actors Yashpal Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra, Rajendranath Zutshi and others are seen interacting with each other. Former Indian cricketers Irfan Pathan and Aakash Chopra were also a part of the celebrations.

Irfan commented on the video, “What a lovely evening.” A fan wrote, “so adorable.” Another wrote, “what a wonderful idea to meet after years, what fun it has been..love from turkiye.” One more said, “Lagaan family plus Irfan Pathan!!! What a spetacular reunion!!!”

Lagaan featured Gracy Singh opposite Aamir. The film was nominated in the Best Foreign Language category at the 74th Academy Awards and received widespread critical and commercial acclaim. It was the third film from the country to be nominated in the category after Mother India (1957) and Salaam Bombay! (1988).

Lagaan follows the story of Bhuvan (Aamir), a villager from Champaner, Gujarat, who is challenged by an arrogant British officer, played by Paul Blackthorne, to a game of cricket, as a wager to avoid paying the taxes (lagaan) they owe.

Aamir will now be seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Mona Singh. The film is due to release in theatres on August 11. It is a Hindi remake of Tom Hanks-starrer Forrest Gump.
