Aamir Khan Says He’d Cast Vicky Kaushal as Bhuvan in a Hypothetical Lagaan Remake

Khan shared the hypothetical casting on Komal Nahta’s podcast as an opinion, not a remake announcement.

Overview

  • Khan praised Kaushal’s “dignity, inner strength, steadiness and integrity,” calling him a natural fit for Bhuvan.
  • He added that Kaushal is “slightly similar” to him in energy when asked which actor feels most like his clone.
  • There is no Lagaan remake in development, with Khan’s comment presented as a speculative answer in an interview.
  • Khan recalled hoping to make Lagaan for Rs 12 crore before the budget rose to about Rs 25 crore.
  • He credited the 2001 film with pioneering practices like a security setup, communications and first AD systems, sync sound and a single-schedule shoot, as coverage revisited its Oscar-nominated legacy and Kaushal’s recent box-office run.
