Yesterday
(June
15,
2021),
Ashutosh
Gowariker's
Lagaan
completed
twenty
years,
and
while
speaking
to
an
entertainment
portal,
actress
Gracy
Singh
reminisced
about
her
audition
days
for
the
film
and
how
she
came
on
board.
Gracy
told
Bollywood
Hungama,
"When
I
was
doing
Amanat,
a
very
senior
manager,
Joshi
ji,
used
to
insist
that
I
should
work
in
Hindi
films.
Through
him,
I
learnt
about
the
auditions
for
Lagaan.
In
fact,
he
was
the
one
who
took
me
there.
I
had
to
audition
twice
before
I
was
selected.
I
was
told
to
dance
on
my
favourite
song,
'Honthon
Pe
Aisi
Baat'."
She
further
revealed,
"I
had
a
good
time
giving
the
screen
test;
I
was
glad
everything
fell
into
place
and
I
bagged
the
part.
I
didn't
know
about
the
role
and
story
beforehand.
When
I
found
out,
I
was
very
overjoyed
as
I
love
the
period
backdrop
and
always
wanted
to
do
a
film
in
this
space."
When
asked
about
her
experience
of
working
with
Aamir
Khan
who
was
already
a
star
when
Lagaan
was
being
shot,
Gracy
admitted
that
she
was
quite
nervous
to
work
with
him,
but
looking
at
his
dedication,
she
compelled
herself
to
work
harder.
She
said
that
she
was
a
very
big
fan
of
Aamir
Khan,
and
he
was
very
inspiring
on
the
sets
of
Lagaan.
"One
of
my
screen
tests
happened
with
Aamir
Khan.
I
was
obviously
nervous.
However,
he
completely
transformed
himself
into
Bhuvan.
During
rehearsals
and
when
we
were
on
location,
he
switched
into
his
character;
and
we
all
followed
suit.
So
you
see,
he
was
quite
dedicated
and
hard
working.
Unko
dekh
ke
sab
mein
josh
aata
tha.
In
fact,
the
whole
team
was
great.
It
was
a
blessing
to
work
with
such
a
great
bunch
of
people
together,"
added
the
Gangaajal
actress.
