In Lagaan, a 2001 sports period drama directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Aamir Khan played Bhuvan, while Mishra portrayed Arjan. Mishra praised Aamir’s dedication to the film, emphasizing its narrative strength and collaborative energy.

Mishra remarked on Aamir’s rare ability to elevate co-stars, describing it as a defining trait of his professionalism. “This generosity in a star is extraordinary,” he concluded.
