Summary
- Actor Paul Blackthorne shared behind-the-scenes stories from Lagaan's intense filming.
- Aamir Khan orchestrated a 'curry pasta' prank on the British cast.
- The film's 25th anniversary saw its re-release in theaters.
Twenty-five years after its release, Ashutosh Gowariker's Lagaan continues to be celebrated, with actor Paul Blackthorne sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes memories.
Blackthorne described the filming in Gujarat's Bhuj region as an intense, four-month 'pressure cooker' experience, fraught with challenges like extreme heat, dust storms, and insect swarms.
A particularly amusing recollection involves Aamir Khan and a culinary prank. After weeks of the British cast eating curry daily, Khan offered them pasta, which was revealed to be pasta cooked in the same curry sauce.
As Lagaan celebrates its 25th anniversary, it has returned to theaters. The film, originally released in 2001, earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
