Mukesh Rishi was doing 'Lagaan', so he had to leave the film.
In response to this, Pradiv Rawat said, 'At that time Mukesh Rishi had six South films and he was not able to adjust the dates of those films for Lagaan. That's why he had to leave 'Lagaan'. At that time Aamir Khan Productions wanted a lot of dates simultaneously. Since Mukesh Rishi couldn't do it, I was the next option. I had 'Sarfarosh' with him. Aamir liked my role of Sultan in it very much.
Aamir called at midnight
Pradeep Rawat further told about the incident when Aamir Khan called him at midnight to offer him the role, 'My sister picked up the phone and couldn't believe that it was Aamir. He said, 'Why are you bullying?' He said, 'I am really saying Aamir Khan, what Pradeep ji? My sister could not believe that he was really Aamir Khan.

family members stayed awake all night
According to Pradeep Rawat, after this Aamir gave the phone to Umashankar Pathak, who was one of the writers of 'Sarfarosh' and came to Pradeep's house. Then Umashankar told Pradeep Rawat's sister that it was indeed Aamir Khan on the phone. Pradeep Rawat said, 'He told his sister to tell me to go to Aamir's office in the morning and sign the contract there and take the cheque. When I reached home at 3 pm after the shooting, everyone was awake. They were all excited because Aamir Khan had called.
Thanks to Mukesh Rishi
Pradeep Rawat is still grateful to Mukesh Rishi for leaving 'Lagaan'. If he had not done this, Pradeep Rawat would never have been able to be a part of 'Lagaan'.
