Finally, speculations about Aamir Khan’s next home production have been put to rest. Aamir is going to start work on the remake of Tamil-thriller Ghajini, a year from now. Even if the project is in its nascent stage right now, AR Murugadoss (the director of the Tamil version) has been finalised to direct the Hindi version. However, the casting and other details remain to be finalised. “I met Aamir twice recently. He was so impressed by Ghajini that he expressed his desire to remake it in Hindi,” says Murugadoss.

Apparently, Aamir has bought the rights of the Tamil film. “Aamir is a very intelligent man and wants to produce the film,” says Murugadoss. “We did have a detailed discussion on how to change and adapt the film, in order to make it acceptable and understandable to a larger Indian audience.”

Considering Murgadoss’s inability to speak in Hindi (he gave this interview in Tamil), how does he plan to direct the film? “Language should not be a barrier. I do speak a little bit of English and that’s how we will interact,” he replies. Quiz him for some more details, and Murgadoss gets tight-lipped. “It is too early to reveal any other details; the casting still needs to be worked out,” he says. The original Tamil film stars Surya Sivakumar, Nayantara and Asin in the lead roles.
