Aamir Khan about the movie ‘Lagaan’At the festival, the superstar revealed that before the cameras rolled on the sets of ‘Lagaan’, the cast of the film would start with the Gayatri Mantra every day. He shared, “Akhilendra Mishra (who played Arjan) played the Gayatri Mantra when we traveled in the bus. There were some who wanted to listen to English songs but I insisted that we listen to the Gayatri Mantra. We listened to it every day for six months before we got to the shooting location. And that helped us in a reflective state. When you go to work, it is important to understand the situation we are in. In the bus, it would be dark, we would travel before sunrise and listen to the Gayatri Mantra.“Aamir Khan in ‘Lagaan’s Oscar raceSpeaking about the film’s Oscar campaign, the actor said: ‘In terms of scope, we just did the performances we could do. So our hustle was, we felt, whether people would show up or not. A couple of screenings were not for academia, but for friends and other people to come and watch the film. So we would call the parking lot staff, or ask whoever we could spot to go to the show. Our idea was that whoever would see the film, would like it, our job was to bring people to the screening.“
