Apoorva Lakhia Spills the Beans on Ditching Aamir Khan During Lagaan Filming, and His Hilarious Eviction of Ronit Roy from the Bus

Hello, Bollywood buffs! Fasten your seatbelts because Khabree Kiran is here to spill some piping hot chai straight from the sets of the classic, Lagaan! Time to dive into some vintage drama and discover why Aamir Khan was left behind, quite literally! 🚌

Lagaan—the epic saga where cricket met colonial India, and Bollywood met the Oscars stage. This 2001 blockbuster, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and headlined by Aamir Khan, is still stealing hearts and, apparently, some behind-the-scenes thunder too! 🎬

Cut to Apoorva Lakhia, the assistant director with a flair for keeping things tighter than a drum. Picture this: a sun-drenched Gujarat, a film crew running on tight schedules, and Aamir Khan, the perfectionist, running late. Oh ho, kya scene tha! But wait, let’s add Ronit Roy to this filmi kahani, who was not the TV star we know today but Aamir’s personal bodyguard and the head of his security detail. Talk about multitasking!

Lakhia’s No-Nonsense Mantra!
Apoorva, with his Hollywood-esque discipline, was not one for Bollywood ka usual chalta hai attitude. He introduced call sheets, synchronized clocks, and bus rides that ran sharper than a Swiss watch. Now, that’s some serious ‘Lagaan’ discipline! 😎

The twist in the tale? Aamir, the star of the show, was late on the third day. The bus was all set, but where was our hero? Ronit stood guard, and the rest of the crew was all ears, waiting for the assistant director’s next move. Daring as ever, Lakhia decided it was time to set a precedent. 🚀

“I grabbed the driver by the collar and said, ‘Bus chala!’,” he recounted, leaving Aamir and Ronit to fend for themselves. A bold move indeed! The bus roared away, leaving the superstar duo in its dust. Talk about catching the bus—or not, in this case! 🏃‍♂️💨

In the end, Aamir and Ronit made it to the set, albeit two hours late, probably with a story to remember. So, dear Bollywood enthusiasts, the moral of the story is never to keep the bus waiting, especially when Apoorva Lakhia is on board! 😉

Kiran’s Gyan
Arre bhai, Bollywood is like a cricket match—timing is everything! Whether you’re an Aamir or a newbie, don’t let the bus leave you behind, kyunki picture abhi baaki hai mere dost! 🎥
