New Delhi. Superstar Aamir Khan’s Oscar nominated film ‘Lagaan’ was released in the year 2001. Even after two decades, this film is discussed. In ‘Lagaan’, Aamir Khan played the role of a villager named Bhuvan and he won the hearts of the fans with his strong performance. Yashpal Sharma played the role of Lakha in this movie. Recently Yashpal told that Aamir Khan had adopted an amazing strategy during the shooting of the film.
During a conversation on YouTube channel Friday Talkies, Yashpal Sharma said, ‘I thought Aamir Khan would be very arrogant because I did not have a good experience with other stars before him. People who came out of NSD also behaved like stars, so I thought Aamir Khan is Aamir Khan, but when I worked with him, I am telling the truth that he used to sit on the mud and drink tea in a paper glass. He is a very amazing person.’

This strategy was adopted by Aamir Khan
Yashpal Sharma further said, ‘We had a card club there, where we all used to play cards. I learned to play cards there. We used to play cards every day. Call it Aamir Khan’s strategy that we all stay together, no one should get into any trouble with girls, no one should fight, no one should drink alcohol, play cards together, whatever we have to do, we should do it together and we should always stay together. We followed this routine for 5 and a half months during the shooting.’
