Lagaan XI reveals how Aamir Khan-Ashutosh Gowariker made their dream project

As 'Lagaan' clocks 20 years today (June 15), actor Aamir Khan took out some time to interact with the media and recall the days when he shot for the iconic film and reflect on the film's journey of two decades which incidentally also marks 20 years of his first production.

'Lagaan' was the first film Aamir Khan Productions produced. And so, talking about the same while recollecting how he never wanted to be a producer but became one by 'accident', Aamir Khan told the press during an interaction which DNA was a part of, when asked how do you look at this journey and what are the future plans for the production house, "When I became an actor.

I come from a film family, I have seen my uncle and father making movies. My father was a very enthusiastic producer, a very good producer but he didn't know how to do business, so he never ended up making money. He only had problems. One film 'Locket' took him 8 years to make, 'Khoon Ki Pukaar' took 3 years to make. He was in big debt and I've seen him go through a lot of financial crisis.
