Aamir Khan Names Vicky Kaushal as His Choice for Bhuvan in a Hypothetical Lagaan Recast

No remake is underway as the remark came during Komal Nahta’s podcast.

Overview

  • Speaking on Game Changers: The Producer Series, Khan said Kaushal naturally reflects Bhuvan’s dignity, inner strength, steadiness and integrity.
  • Vicky Kaushal responded on Instagram that “there can be no other ‘Bhuvan’ than Aamir Sir,” calling the praise an honor.
  • Khan also said he finds Kaushal slightly similar to himself in energy during the rapid-fire segment.
