It is planned as part of the anniversary celebrations.
Bollywood star Aamir Khan is set to receive the Screen Icon Award at the 37th Singapore International Film Festival.
Khan is also set to join director Ashutosh Gowariker for a special screening event there.
That screening is meant to mark 25 years since the release of Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India.
Khan is being recognised for his contribution to Asian cinema and the award honours actors whose work has created a significant creative impact.
Khan is also scheduled to take part in the festival’s “In Conversation With” programme.
This session will give audiences a chance to hear directly from the actor.
It is planned as part of the anniversary celebrations surrounding the iconic film.
The Singapore International Film Festival is scheduled to take place from October 21 to November 1, 2026.
The 2026 edition of the festival is being held earlier than its usual schedule this year.
Lagaan was originally released on June 15, 2001, and became a landmark Hindi film.
It quickly emerged as one of the most ambitious Hindi films made during that era.
The film was directed by Gowariker and starred Aamir Khan in the lead role.
It combined a period drama set during British colonial rule with a cricket match narrative.
This unusual combination made the film stand out among other productions of that time.
The film’s international journey became a defining chapter in the history of Indian cinema.
Lagaan was selected as India’s official entry for the Academy Awards that year.
It went on to earn a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the ceremony.
This nomination came at the 74th Academy Awards, marking a historic moment for Indian films.
The anniversary screening in Singapore therefore held deep significance for the film’s legacy.
It marked 25 years since the film helped introduce Hindi cinema to a global audience.
Khan had earlier attended a screening in London during July 2026.
That screening took place at the London Indian Film Festival, where he spoke about the film.
He reflected on the incredible journey the film has had over the past 25 years.
Khan said: “As Lagaan completes 25 years, it’s hard to put into words what this journey has meant.
“We made the film with a lot of belief, passion, and honesty, never imagining the kind of love it would receive.”
Aamir Khan’s words reflected just how much the film continues to mean to him personally.
The upcoming Singapore event is expected to be another proud moment in this journey.
