Recently, Mishra had narrated memories during the shoot of the film. He said, “The routine during the shooting of Lagaan was amazing. The most wonderful thing was we used to sit in the bus at six in the morning.
The bus was named Actors Bus and Aamir Khan himself used to sit with us and go from the hotel to the shooting site.”He added, “In the early morning, the driver used to play Gayatri Mantra during the journey to the shooting site.
The Gayatri Mantra was turned off once we reached our location. And after that, we used to take our breakfast together.”
