MUMBAI: Bollywood classic Lagaan is set to celebrate 25 years since its release, with actor and producer Aamir Khan preparing a special reunion event to honor everyone involved in the film’s success.

According to Indian media reports, the celebrations will extend beyond a gathering of cast members and will include technicians, crew members, and other individuals who contributed to the making of the iconic film.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Lagaan is scheduled to return to cinemas on June 12. A day later, on June 13, a grand event will be held at a five-star hotel in Mumbai to bring together the film’s cast and crew.

Reports suggest that invitations have been extended not only to lead and supporting actors but also to technical staff and production team members. The reunion aims to recognize the collective efforts that helped make Lagaan one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated films.

Sources said attendees are expected to revisit memories from the production, share behind-the-scenes stories, and reflect on the film’s lasting impact. Aamir Khan, now 61, is reportedly looking forward to reuniting with his former colleagues for the occasion.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Lagaan was released in 2001 and is widely regarded as a landmark film in Bollywood history. Set during British colonial rule in India, the story follows villagers who challenge British officials to a cricket match in an effort to avoid paying heavy taxes.

The film achieved major box office success and gained international recognition. It was nominated for the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category, a significant achievement for Indian cinema.

The movie’s popularity was further enhanced by its memorable soundtrack composed by A. R. Rahman, whose songs remain popular among audiences years after the film’s release.
