Cricketer Irrfan Pathan was also present at the reunion.
Meanwhile, Lagaan is witnessing success to date. As per industry conversations, several leading producers from the UK have requested the rights from Aamir Khan Productions and a final decision will be made soon regarding the West End Theater.
