Bachchan brought up the fact that legendary actor Marlon Brando wasn't the first choice for the part of Don Vito Corleone. He did this by comparing ‘The Godfather’ to a great Hollywood movie. Several players were thought of before Brando, which shows how complicated and random the casting process is.

Bachchan's comment shows how unpredictable the movie business is, with chances coming and going and actors having to make decisions based on their gut feelings and the situation. In the case of ‘Lagaan’, Abhishek Bachchan's choice not to be in the movie gave Aamir Khan the chance to play Bhuvan, which turned out to be one of the best performances of Khan's career.

On being asked in an interview he said, “I was convinced I was not right for the part. I was way too raw and young to shoulder a film as epic as ‘Lagaan’. Of course, I knew it was going to be huge. But I was just not ready to be a part of it.”

Bachchan hasn't been in ‘Lagaan’, but his Bollywood career has been full of different roles and great acts. He has made a name for himself as a talented actor who can play a wide range of roles. In films like ‘Guru’, ‘Yuva,’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, he played difficult roles and gave memorable performances.

The fact that Abhishek Bachchan is ready to talk about his decision about ‘Lagaan’ shows how mature and sure of himself he is as an actor. He knows that the choices an actor makes affect his or her job and that success and recognition can come from unexpected places.

In conclusion, Abhishek Bachchan's latest interview shows why he turned down the chance to be in ‘Lagaan’ and shows how unpredictable the movie business is. By comparing the hiring process to that of ‘The Godfather’, Bachchan shows that turning down a role doesn't mean the end of an actor's career and that success can be found in other projects. Bachchan's openness and confidence in talking about this choice show how he has grown and changed as an actor in the world of films, which is always changing.
