Rakesh Roshan Re-Calls How How Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan Starring Aamir Khan Inspired Him To Make Koi Mil Gaya
In Pinkvilla’s Masterclass event hosted by Himesh Mankad, Rakesh Roshan shared how Lagaan inspired him to make Koi Mil Gaya. He said, “After Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, I was sitting on many subjects. Nothing was inspiring me. Then one day, we had gone to South Africa and they had a premiere of Lagaan over there. So I went to see the film and I was completely blown by that film.That film changed my thinking. I was needlessly listening to these hero-subject films after Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and how Hrithik needs to be presented next. I said to myself that he (Hrithik) has got a lot of talent in him. Why not make something different! And suddenly this idea came to my mind. Once he (Hrithik) said yes, we started working on it. You will not believe but the script was made in just 10 days. I went to Khandala. We stayed at Duke’s hotel. Me, Robin Bhatt, Ravi Kapoor and Honey Irani. We sat for 10 days and made the whole script. The flow was so good and so clean that everyone was on the same page each day.” Hrithik Roshan added, “Sometimes when something is right, it just flows. It was just shocking. 10 days.”
