Mumbai/Patiala, 26 October (Amar Nath Prasad)
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and South Indian heartthrob Suriya are in talks for a unique project: a simultaneous Hindi and Tamil sequel to the 2008 blockbuster “Ghajini.”
Key Points:
- Talks in Progress: Aamir Khan is discussing the project with producers Allu Arvind and Madhu Mantena. Suriya has confirmed discussions are underway.
- Simultaneous Filming: The producers aim to film both Hindi and Tamil versions concurrently to avoid the “remake” label and cater to the pan-Indian audience.
- Avoiding Remake Fatigue: Both Aamir and Suriya are enthusiastic but cautious about remakes. They fear releasing one version before the other might dampen audience excitement for both.
Original Ghajini’s Legacy:
- The 2008 “Ghajini” was a major hit, starring Aamir Khan in the Hindi version and Suriya in the Tamil original.
- The film’s theme of memory loss resonated with audiences, solidifying its status as a “cult classic.”
