Aamir Khan Reveals His Pick For Bhuvan In Lagaan Remake

Aamir Khan Reveals His Pick For Bhuvan In Lagaan Remake

In a revelation that has set Bollywood fans abuzz, Aamir Khan, the legendary Bollywood actor and perfectionist, has finally shared who he would choose to play the iconic role of Bhuvan if a remake of the cult classic Lagaan were ever made. The 2001 epic sports drama, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, remains one of the most celebrated films in Indian cinema, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and leaving a permanent mark on global audiences.

Aamir Khan’s Timeless Role as Bhuvan

When Lagaan released over two decades ago, Aamir Khan’s portrayal of Bhuvan — a fearless villager who leads his people in a historic cricket match against the British — became a defining moment in his career. The film’s combination of patriotism, sports drama, and inspirational storytelling made it an all-time favorite, not just in India but around the world.

Fans have often wondered what it would be like if Lagaan was remade with a new generation of actors. Now, Aamir Khan has finally answered that question.

The New Bhuvan – Aamir Khan’s Choice

In a recent interview during a promotional event, Aamir Khan revealed that if Lagaan were to be remade today, he would cast Ranbir Kapoor as the new Bhuvan. He praised Ranbir for his versatility, intense acting skills, and ability to bring depth to emotionally layered roles.

“Ranbir has that rare ability to connect with audiences emotionally while delivering powerful performances. I believe he could carry the spirit of Bhuvan with the same passion and sincerity,” Aamir said.

The statement quickly went viral on social media platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, sparking debates among fans about whether Ranbir Kapoor could indeed match the intensity of Aamir Khan’s original performance.

Why Ranbir Kapoor Could Be the Perfect Bhuvan

Ranbir Kapoor’s filmography is filled with diverse and challenging roles, from Rockstar and Barfi! to the recent blockbuster Animal. His ability to balance charm, vulnerability, and determination mirrors many qualities that made Bhuvan such a beloved character.

Moreover, Ranbir’s proven box office appeal and his ability to handle period dramas (as seen in films like Shamshera) make him a fitting choice for a remake of such a monumental film.

Fans React to Aamir Khan’s Remark

Within hours of Aamir’s statement, hashtags like #LagaanRemake, #AamirKhan, and #RanbirAsBhuvan started trending across social media. While many fans welcomed the idea, others felt that some roles are best left untouched.

The Legacy of Lagaan

Lagaan is one of the most significant films in the history of the Indian cinema even twenty years after its release. Not only was it a financial success at the box office, it also became a cultural sensation that ruminated millions of people by its message of unity and strength and standing up against wrong injustices. The soundtrack of the film written by A.R. Rahman is still one to be appreciated and the themes composing this disc can still be honored in the present day and age.

While no official confirmation of a Lagaan remake has been made, Aamir Khan’s recent statement has certainly reignited public interest and speculation. Whether or not such a remake ever materializes, fans will always hold the original close to their hearts — and now, they have a new vision of who could lead it for a new generation.
