Aamir: The whole system changed after Lagaan

Abhishek Mande, Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai

Aamir Khan's blockbuster Lagaan was released 10 years ago on this date, June 15. We celebrate the film.

Aamir Khan walks into his study, a sprawling 400-odd sq ft room in the landmark Marina Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area. He wears a loose black t-shirt, a pair of three-quarters and an air of urgency.

Ten years ago today, Khan's life changed in a way he could have never imagined. It was the day when his debut production Lagaan hit the screens.

It was also the day when quite a few things changed for Bollywood. Lagaan broke practically all the rules so much that Javed Akhtar did everything except physically restrain Aamir from making the movie.

Ten years since it first released, Aamir and his production house have gone from strength to strength. He has never delivered a single flop in these many years and neither has his production house Aamir Khan Productions.

On a laidback Wednesday afternoon, Aamir Khan looks back at the movie and tells Abhishek Mande and Sonil Dedhia how it changed Bollywood forever.
