A much awaited collab
More than two decades after ‘Lagaan’ became a landmark sports drama, reports suggest Aamir Khan and filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker may reunite for another cricket-based emotional drama inspired by legendary cricketer Lala Amarnath. The film is reportedly in advanced scripting stages and could begin production in September 2026. Unlike ‘Lagaan’, the new project is said to be rooted in history and set around Partition-era India, exploring Amarnath’s life through the lens of cricket. Reports also claim Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi have offered creative inputs during development.
