Ghajini remake leaps ahead of OSO!
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,February 16 2008]
Every time a Âbig-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 KhanÂs next movie under production, ÂGhajini RemakeÂ.
Towards the end of last year Shah Rukh Khan starrer ÂOm Shanthi Om broke many records and fetched a record breaking Rs. 73 Crores for its rights. Now AamirÂs ÂGhajini 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 ÂGhajini for a Âhuge 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 ÂGhajiniÂ. 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!
