Asin is now acting in Hindi Gajini. She who is singing duet with Amirkhan out there was also invited to perform acting for the movie Pokiri in Hindi.Oh but,what a pity.She got no callsheet for the same.

'The deer hunter' fame Salmankhan is acting in Hindi Pokiri. Eventhough the chance of acting in Pokiri is missed she is having a good time with Gajini. The reason for that is, they have inserted the same two songs Suttum vizhi, oru malai illam veyil naeram, which was a mega hit in Tamil in Hindi too. They took the shootings for those tamil songs in the same location where they shot for Tamil Gajini. The beautiful Asin told that it reminded her of actor Surya when she went to those locations. Iyyo adhey sweet memories pa...!

Asin, is again acting with Surya in the movie Vel is a point which has to be noted by all of us at this time ! In this movie her name is Miranda Meenakshi! Her charcter is like Pepsi Uma who anchors a television show.

oho, ithellaam inimel sollittu seyyunga :lol2:

I was kidding. I'm sorry. It was an attempt at humor okay. I wasn't degrading :cry: That or none of you understand hindi.

Anyways, I was listening to "New York Nargam" last night and it hit me: This sounds like a good tune to reuse in the Ghajini remake in place of either "Suttam Vizhi" or "Oru Malai".

What do you think?

enna ipadi maa araikuraanga, poi solurathukku alave illaya? ARR using someone else's tunes? no way!!!! maybe they r the same situation songs, maybe thats what i mean. I am sure it will be original. Otherwise why ARR, why not HJ? he is better at matching lyrics for already made tunes! :lol:

Let me understand this...

Did they "recycle" the tunes from "Suttum Vizhi" and "Oru Malai" into the hindi Ghajini? Or did they shoot the "replaced" songs wit ARR compositions in the SAME LOCATIONS?

Either way, it's a win-win situation. Those were probably the best two HJ compostions yet. They basically pulled a "The Gentleman" and got rights from the original composer for those two songs.

And here I thought, "NY Nargam would be awesome for "Suttam" replacement.

I doubt this news is true. Why use two HJ tunes when you have ARR working for you?

"New York Naragam" would be quite a different song, Nickraman :)

Asin in Namibia!
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 07 August , 2007, 17:58
Last week our Asin and Aamir Khan along with the rest of the Ghajani unit flew from Mumbai to Johannesburg in South Africa, enroute to Namibia for song picturisation.

This the first unit from Bollywood to shoot in Namibia, in southern Africa on the Atlantic coast. South African locations have become stale in Bollywood, and last weeks Cash was shot in Cape Town. So Aamir and the producers were looking for a new locale that has not been seen before and chose Namibia

A year back Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt holidayed in Namibia for a month putting it in the global tourism map. Namibia is as large as Germany and France put together and is prime game area and boasts of Etosha National Park which has the largest Cheetah population in the world. Namibia has also beautiful beaches and wild deserts.

Ravi.K.Chandran, the noted cameraman of Ghajani, was also thrilled to shoot in the virgin locales of Namibia, which he feels is ideal for Bollywood type song and dance. Two songs tuned by A.R Rahman, are going to be shot in Namibia on Aamir and Asin.

Remember that Asin had shot the Tamil Ghajani hit number Sutrum Vizhi Sudale…., with Surya tuned by Harris Jayaraj in Switzerland? Now for the Hindi version she is shooting with Aamir in Namibia, to a different tune by Rahman!

It may be sheer coincidence that Asin should be back in Chennai by August 14, to start her first schedule of Vel with her Tamil Ghajani hero Surya with whom she is reuniting after two years!

http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14506367

according to CNN-IBN , Hindi Ghajini sold for a whopping 93 crore rupees!!!

Domestic theatrical rights = Rs 50 cr
Overseas & Music rights = Rs 43 cr

i think, ARR has a set big commercial benchmark that Himesh or any other Indian composer will find it tough to even touch

Aamir's GHAJINI goes to T-Series
Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Saturday, February 16, 2008]


T-Series has bagged the music rights to the remake of the biggest Tamil grosser Ghajini directed by AR Murugadoss. The yet to be titled remake will star Aamir Khan, Asin Thottumkal and Jiah Khan.

The film is an action thriller set to release in October. This project will be the biggest project of this year.

After Taare Zameen Par with Aamir Khan the Audio rights of this movie have also been bagged by T-Series. T-Series has been a player in the market since 24 years and is now a $ 90 million business.

Ghajini remake leaps ahead of OSO!
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, February 16, 2008]


Every time a ¡®big-budget¡¯ film is about to be released, it passes through a stage where it is compared with its predecessors. The film that is under the limelight today is Aamir Khan¡¯s next movie under production, ¡®Ghajini Remake¡¯.

Towards the end of last year Shah Rukh Khan starrer ¡®Om Shanthi Om¡¯ broke many records and fetched a record breaking Rs. 73 Crores for its rights. Now Aamir¡¯s ¡®Ghajini¡¯ has broken this record of OSO and set a new record of fetching a whooping Rs. 90 crores.

Indian Film Company has sold the domestic theatre rights of ¡®Ghajini¡¯ for a ¡®huge¡¯ 53 Crores. We have reports suggesting that no other Hindi film has been sold for this mammoth sum. Not only this but the satellite, overseas and the home video rights have fetched another 40 Crores, which makes an over all mammoth 93 Crore!

This massive investment flick, which is not yet titled, is a Hindi remake of the Tamil director A.R. Murugadoss Tamil flick ¡®Ghajini¡¯. This is the biggest movie for Aamir Khan this year where he is pairing with Asin, a South Indian beauty, who also was the heroine in the original Tamil version.

Reports close to the producer suggest that they are receiving good offers from various distribution houses. They say that they have surpassed any Indian film's record in terms of pre-release sales.

We wish this team all success!

Ghajini creates history!

The Hindi remake of the Tamil Ghajini starring Aamir Khan and Asin, directed by A.R Murgadoss has created history before release. The films various rights- Indian theatrical, overseas, television, etc is said to have an earned an estimated Rs 93 crores, according to the leading business newspaper “The Economic Times”.

According to a report in ET, the producers of Hindi Ghajini, leading Telugu producer Allu Aravind,( Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi’s brother- in-law) and Madhu Varma has sold domestic theatrical rights to the Mumbai based Indian Film Company (IFC) for Rs 53 crores. The producers have sold Overseas, domestic Video, and satellite rights for another Rs 40 crores.

It clearly means that Aamir Khan’s Ghajini remake in Hindi has fetched a higher price than SRK’s Om Shanti Om which was snapped up by Eros Entertainment last October for Rs 73 crore. Aamir Khan after the stupendous success of Taare Zameen Par is the biggest brand in Indian cinema.

Now Aamir’s next big release is the Hindi version of Ghajini. IFC has snapped it at such a high price because after a long time Aamir is coming out with a mass commercial action movie and the music is by A.R Rahman. For IFC, last year was very good as they distributed super hits like Jab We Met and Welcome.

A.R.Murugadoss & Aamir Khan break Indian record

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

February 19, 2008

A.R.Murugadoss and Aamir Khan have managed to pull off a national level record for the highest distribution rights paid for a single movie yet! Yes, you heard it right: their Hindi Ghajini has garnered a whooping 90 crores in distribution price for its producers Madhu Verma and Allu Arivind.

The Indian Film Company (IFC) has paid 53 crores to the producers of the movie for the domestic distribution rights. IFC had earlier distributed Jab We Met and Welcome, both of which have been profitable ventures. Overseas, satellite, online and home video rights collected another 40 crores.

This is quite a remarkable achievement considering the fact that not a single official still has been released about the movie yet.

The movie is obviously heavy weight with Aamir fresh off his Taare Zameen Par success, A.R.Rahman as the music director (the inside story is that the director has composed some mind blowing music for the movie), Ravi K Chandran in charge of camera, and Murugadoss, one of the most commercially successful directors of the south at the helm. Asin plays the lead lady of Aamir, supported by Jiah Khan

Ghajini has managed to break the record set by Om Shanthi Om, which had collected 73 crores for its distribution rights.

Now for the really interesting side of all this: Aamir is not just looking to take away Shahrukh's record on the finance-side, but also on the physical side. He is gearing up to flaunt a six pack ala Shahrukh Khan. The actor is on a strict exercise regimen, building up muscles and pumping some iron.

Call it professional rivalry at its peak!

Murugadoss upbeat over Bollywood entry



Meera Srinivasan










A.R. Murugadoss

Chennai: Director A.R. Murugadoss of ‘Ramana’ fame is now busy in Bollywood, shooting the remake of ‘Gajini’ in Hindi with actor Aamir Khan.

With over 50 per cent of the film having been completed and three songs shot, the director can’t seem to hide his excitement about the manner in which the film is taking shape.

The director has, in a fairly short span, worked with top heroes in Tamil and Telugu such as Vijayakanth, Suriya, Chiranjeevi and now in Hindi with Aamir Khan. He is easily among the more accessible directors in the industry.

Music director A. R. Rahman’s music for the Hindi version of ‘Gajini’ has come out really well, he says.

“I am truly amazed at Aamir Khan’s dedication. His passion comes across evidently. You know he’s thoroughly enjoying himself while at work,” the director says.

Some scenes are said to have been modified and visually enhanced in the remake, which is expected to hit the cinemas in October.

Aamir will shave his head next month to play the role that won Suriya accolades. “He said he hasn’t shaved his head even as a kid…,” the director laughs.

The film has already raised expectations of movie buffs due to several reasons. For Aamir Khan, this film follows his mega hit — the critically-acclaimed ‘Taare Zameen Par.’ Fans would also be more than eager to listen to Rahman’s music after listening to his compositions for ‘Jodhaa Akbar.’ For Murugadoss, too, this project follows Telugu film ‘Stalin’ starring Chiranjeevi.

Ghajini director arrested?

A.R. Murgadoss, the super-hit director of Tamil Ghajini was “arrested?today while coming out of the house of Sujatha in Mylapore, where he had gone to pay his last respect to the late writer!
The ace director who is now doing the Hindi version of Ghajini with Aamir Khan was arrested by the Salem Police on a complaint filed by Salem Chandrasekhar, the Tamil Ghajini producer. Chandrasekhar had filed a police complaint with the Salem Police saying that Murugadoss had kept him in the dark regarding the making of a Hindi version of Ghajini and he has not been paid his due share of the remake rights.

But the manner in which Murgadoss was surreptitiously bundled into a car by police in mufti, in full glare of heavy traffic, made it look like a “Kollywood film style kidnapping? according to onlookers.

The Chennai police have confirmed that Murgadoss was “arrested by Salem Police? and he will be produced in a Magistrate court in Salem later in the day.

But why arrest the director? Isn't it the producer who's supposed to be looking at this kind of issues... ?

Pffff.... I don't think such a drama is needed...

ya, i saw the news, seems ar murugadoss is arrested following a complaint by the producer.... ivlo naal summa irunthuttu ippo kondhalichirukan

A.R Murugadoss who was unceremoniously dumped into a car and taken to Salem by the Salem Police for interrogation regarding a complaint filed by Ghajani producer Salem Chandrasekhar met Tamilnadu Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi on Saturday.
Murugadoss along with fellow directors S.A Chandrasekhar and P.Vasu met the Chief Minister at his home and bitterly complained about the treatment meted out to him. The Chief Minister gave a patient hearing and suspended the cop involved.

The powerful Tamil Film Producers Council has also asked producer Salem Chandrasekhar for an explanation on why he didn’t lodge a complaint with them and instead rushed to the police.

:lol: Yeah mostly delays.

On your ambitious project Gajini in Hindi.

Gajini has shaped up very well and I’m satisfied. The movie is almost over- save for a couple of songs, the composition of which is underway. We will be able to wrap it up completely after the songs are shot.

Is the Hindi Gajini same as that of its Tamil counterpart?

I have tweaked the script a little bit to suit the taste of the Hindi speaking audience. I also made sure that the story is not tampered with fearing that the essence would be lost. However, I could see that there are a lot of improvements made basically – the 20-minute long climax the Tamil version had, has been altered a bit. Besides, we have also added another song.

http://www.behindwoods.com/features/...murgadoss.html

another song? thats cool......

There is onus on Rahman and Aamir khan to save this film.

"the 20-minute long climax the Tamil version had, has been altered a bit."

Good choice. That 20 minute climax is just 'lame, and one of the worst.

And by the way, interested to know whether there's an equivalent godawful song (the original had a song with enough shock effect , namely Nayanthara's multi-tierd belly).

chanceless & left speechless 8-)

Is it a Fake or real one :?: :!: :!: :!: :shock: :shock:

looks real.. and looks awesome.. wonder if it will stay true to Gajini or Memento... was not at all impressed with the tamil movie compared to Nolan's classic Memento... but knowing Aamir and he may take a different approach than to Gajini...

hope they get rid of the stupid Twin brother climax
and hope they use his short term memory loss to better use

hehe
:D

So Asin will be called Kalpana again. And nothing really suggests "different" from original. "Find Ghajini" in the hand, and "Who is Ghajini" in the chest, suggests there would be a different name for the villain as "Ghajini", or it would mean a twist or uncertainty, like Aamir killed her himself. If that's the case, it would be more closer to Memento than the tamil version. Besides, Aamir has lost credibility when he says he found tamil version original better than Nolan's version. :rotfl: Downright Laughable. :lol2:

That being said, Aamir's tennis ball head looks good. Maybe it would be the next popular hair style among hinglishi guys.

I think its fake....Aamir never had this kind of body frame...His recent pics clearly shows that his body frame is still small..Maybe a six pack is believable but rippling biceps etc ellam fake...It is a cut and paste job..Antha mathriri body ellam only wrestlers will have it..

Blasphemy!!.

reminds me of the bod that Vikram had on the 'first look' posters of Anniyan....

Vikram with six-pack? Yeaa right!

Poster is real. Aamir confirms it.

When Aamir Khan’s look in his upcoming film Ghajini was released yesterday, little did anyone know that his picture with ripped muscles would turn out to be a nightmare for Dr. Surekha Verma, a resident of Kanjurmarg, who has nothing to do with the film.

A source said, “One of the assistant directors of Ghajini wrote a random number as a temporary tattoo on Aamir’s body. The pictures of Aamir were then printed in the newspaper. However, the number happened to be a lady’s number who has nothing to do with either Aamir or the film.

She woke up yesterday morning on receiving several calls asking for Aamir Khan. Initially, she wondered why she was getting calls from strangers. She realised what was happening only after she saw her number sketched on Aamir’s bicep in the newspaper.”

Fed up with the unwanted calls, the lady called up the newspaper office to air her grievances, saying that she was an ordinary citizen working at a reputed place and had been going through hell since morning. Finally, she had to switch off her phone to stop the calls from bothering her.

When contacted, Aamir said, “I really regret the inconvenience caused to the lady whose number was tattooed on my arm. Today, I received over 900 SMSes regarding my Ghajini look. I had to clean up my inbox three times since morning. I empathise with her as I can imagine what she must have gone through.”

The producer of Ghajini, Madhu Varma said, “One of the assistant directors wrote down a random number for the tattoo. We didn’t know that it would be so prominent and we didn’t foresee any such consequence. We will apologise to the lady and offer her a new phone connection.”

Giving the lady a new number seems to be the best solution because the same picture will be used in hoardings all over the country.

A source from the production unit said, “The problem will escalate as the same picture will be turned into life-size posters, which will be put in theatres all across India. The phone number will be more prominent once it’s on the hoardings.”

When we called, Dr. Surekha,she said, “It was maddening ever since I woke up to these non-stop crazy calls asking for Aamir, Anthony… I had to switch off my phone. How can anyone just use my number like that, without my knowledge, forget my consent.”

Aamir and Madhu Varma were apologetic and regretted the inconvenience. They said that they would like to offer her a new number. Surekha accepted that and said, “I am fine if they have a new number for me, I can't continue with this number anymore.”

In the film, Aamir plays a man who loses his memory after every 15 minutes because of which he writes everything that he needs to remember on his body for quick reference.
