| Lagaan 2: Aamir Khan okays concept similar to hit 2001 movie |
October 24, 2015, NewsCrunch
Aamir Khan is reportedly considering a film, which would look like a sequel to his hit 2001 film, Lagaan.
Media reports say the movie would have a similar theme revolving around land tax and injustice, but have a contemporary setting with a social message. While some said the film would have new face for the female lead, Mid Day said Prachi Desai was being considered for the role.
The film is in the discussion stage, if reports are to be believed, with even the script still evolving, though Aamir Khan has reportedly okay-ed the concept.
Aamir Khan likes to announce his movies well in advance. He went public with Dangal when he was wrapping up PK's shooting.
Lagaan 2, if it sails through would be a surprise as Aamir Khan, who dreads getting stereotyped, likes to bring in variation in his movies. Ghajini was followed by 3 Idiots and PK by Dangal, each movie as different as they can get and showing Aamir in an entirely new avatar.
But Lagaan 2, which follows Dangal, a movie set in rural India, would have a similar feel and breaks Aamir's obsession to do something new in each of his movies.
Lagaan was as much an Ashutosh Gowarikar movie as it was Aamir's. By the reports so far the brainy director seems to have nothing to do with the new project.
