Madhavan Explains Rang De Basanti Reunion Absence
11 Feb
Summary
- R Madhavan missed the Rang De Basanti 20-year reunion due to overseas filming commitments.
- The reunion was postponed due to a tragic plane crash in Maharashtra.
- Cast members celebrated the iconic film with themed attire and a special screening.
Actor R Madhavan recently clarified why he could not attend the Rang De Basanti reunion, which marked the film's 20th anniversary. Madhavan, who portrayed Air Force pilot Ajay Rathod, explained that he was filming abroad and was unable to return for the event held in the first week of February. His absence from the Mumbai gathering, which included director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and stars like Aamir Khan and Soha Ali Khan, led to speculation among fans.
The reunion itself experienced a delay from its initial January schedule. This postponement was a direct response to a tragic plane crash that occurred on January 28 in Baramati, Maharashtra. The incident resulted in multiple fatalities, including Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, and was described by Madhavan as a "heartbreaking event" that made celebration inappropriate at the time.
The event finally took place in early February, with cast and crew members donning themed hoodies featuring the film's title. They captured memorable photos outside the venue before participating in a special screening, celebrating the enduring legacy of the iconic film.
