How Aamir got Ghajini
Aamir Khan’s Ghajini may be running to packed houses, but not many know that it was the film’s villain Pradeep Rawat who got the superstar interested in the movie that was originally made in Tamil.
“Aamir Khan usually has Diwali parties at his house. It was at one of these parties that Pradeep Rawat, who has worked with him in a couple of films like Lagaan and Sarfarosh, told him about the film,” said Madhu Mantena, one of the producers of Ghajini.
Rawat had played the villain in the Tamil version that starred Surya and Asin Thottumkal in the lead roles.
“Rawat told him that he had just worked in a film down south that had become a huge hit and now the producers wanted to remake it in Hindi. Mr. Khan saw the film, liked it and was immediately on board,” Mantena, who is COO of Sa Re Ga Ma films division, said.
Rawat, Asin and director A.R. Murugadoss are the common links between the Tamil version and the Hindi remake.
Then why is Surya, the lead actor of the Tamil version, not part of the film?
“If you have a chance of producing a film with Aamir Khan, would you go for producing it with Surya?” the producer quipped.
Mantena said he now plans to dub the film in Spanish and release it in the US and Spain in about two months’ time.
