Javed Thought 'Lagaan' was Suicidal for Aamir


Mumbai, Jun 16 (PTI) Lyricist Javed Akhtar says he felt 'Lagaan' was a suicidal project and tried to prevail upon Aamir Khan not to go ahead with it.

"I was shocked when Ashutosh Gowariker narrated me the script. It had a long list of don'ts of Hindi cinema. I thought I should protect Aamir that he should not commit this suicide. But, both he and Ashutosh treated me like an elder and did not listen to me," Javed said at a celebration party last night to mark the ten years of the film and Aamir's production house.

He wondered what kind of 'song situations' would be there when there are 100 people singing one single song.

"Since Aamir was not listening to me, I decided that I do my own job only. But, when I saw the first cut, I was taken aback.
