New Delhi: Aamir Khan, also known as ‘Mr Perfectionist’ in Bollywood, reminisces about Lagaan (2001) -  a film that managed to win audience love and also heap good reviews from the critics. The movie was in fact nominated for Oscars but did not bag the trophy. Lagaan was also the first film that the actor produced. As the movie completed 20 years on June 14, Aamir spoke to a news daily about the film after which he never gave a flop as an actor. “Ashu (Lagaan director Ashutosh Gowariker) had given two films before this, which weren’t so successful. So, while I trusted him, his script and his ability that’s why I was going ahead, par kahin par ek darr bhi lagta hai ki, yeh beeda utha kar humne kono galti toh nahi ki (laughs),” shares Aamir Khan on taking the leap of faith with Lagaan both as an actor and a first-time producer to Hindustan Times.
