Gadar: Ek Prem Katha & Lagaan Mark 20 Years: Sunny Deol Thanks Fans; Aamir Khan & Lagaan Team’s Reunion On Zoom
Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was released 20 years ago. It is an iconic love story set against the backdrop of the Partition, released in theatres and turned out to be a "historic" event. Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, who played the lead roles of Tara and Sakeena, marked two decades of the movie with emotional posts on social media. Sharing a glimpse with fans of the song Musafir Jaane Wale, Sunny Deol thanked everyone for making Gadar a great success.
June 15, 2021 also marked 20 years of Lagaan - to celebrate exactly that, the film's team had a reunion of sorts. Given the Covid-19 pandemic situation, the reunion was a virtual one but was attended by not only the film's lead star Aamir Khan but also British actor Paul Blackthorne (Captain Russell). The Zoom call was also joined by British actor Rachel Shelley, who was cast as Captain Russell's sister Elizabeth, who falls in love with Aamir Khan's character Bhuvan. The Zoom reunion also included director Ashutosh Gowariker and actors Suhasini Mulay, Pradeep Rawat, Yashpal Sharma and Akhilendra Mishra, all of who were cast in supporting roles and played key parts in the movie. A R Rahman, who composed music for Lagaan, shared a glimpse of the reunion on Instagram with the words, "An emotional and proud team!" 20 years after Lagaan, in an interview with PTI on June 15, Aamir Khan revealed he was discouraged by Karan Johar & Aditya Chopra.
