Aamir’s Ghajini V/s Salman’s Yuvraaj

Posted by s u c c e s s - 0 comments

Khan v/s Khan Again

Its only March and Bollywood fans all over the world are looking forward to the Diwali releases this year. Two Khans, Salman and Aamir, are expected to take each other on with their big budgeted films this year.



Aamir’s Ghajini

From going bald to beefing himself up, Aamir is leaving no stone unturned for his Hindi remake of the Tamil film Ghajini. The film has already created such hype that the actor is believed to have already sold the rights to the film for 90 crores to a leading distributor. With the success of Taare Zameen Par, Khan is riding high. Aamir’s Ghajini is said to be inspired from Christopher Nolan’s Hollywood flick Memento. The film revolves around the life of an anterograde amnesiac who can’t remember anything for more than a few minutes and therefore has no memories and is in search for the man who murdered his wife.

Salman’s Yuvraaj

Pegged as Subhash Ghai’s most expensive film till date, Yuvraaj stars Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Shot in exotic locales like Czechoslovakia and Austria, this musical is said to cost 50 crores alone for filming. Again hoping for a release around Diwali and with a strong star cast, Salman’s Yuvraaj looks like a strong contender to take on Aamir’s Ghajini.

Aamir vs Salman

Although Aamir and Salman brought the roof down with Andaz Apna Apna, the two have never worked together again after that. While neither has come out in the open and criticized one another, industry insiders have confirmed that there is no love lost between the two superstars. In fact the two have turned down numerous offers to work together and now with their big releases for 2008 slated for a Diwali release, one can’t help but wonder if this will be part of the infamous Khan v/s Khan war.

Aamir on Ghajini, six-packs and cricket

Posted by s u c c e s s - 0 comments

While the success of Taare Zameen Par wasn’t a revelation for true-blue Aamir Khan fans, it has surely raised their expectations. Apparently, Aamir is going to take on a new look for his forthcoming Ghajini — the remake of a Tamil film. He will shave his hair, for which he has apparently charged Rs 2 crore. At a promotional event, when asked to justify the sum, he laughed, “I work according to the requirement of the script. If this story requires me to go bald, I will without charging an additional fee.” So, is he going to sport six-pack abs like Shah Rukh Khan or an eight-pack like Sanjay Dutt? “It’s not the abs that are important. For me, to have a good physique you need to have an overall toned body.” The candid Aamir also rubbished rumours of his buying an Indian Cricket League. “As much as I’m interested in cricket,” he said, “I am not interested in buying a cricket team.”

Aamir begins his latest post by spilling the shooting plans, "Ghajini resumes, shooting today on the roads of Bombay." Reportedly, this action thriller has earned the unique distinction of being sold for a whopping Rs 90 crore. Confirming the same, Sandeep Bhargava, Head of The Indian Film Company said, "Ghajini has been the highest grossing Tamil hit. I believe that the remake of Ghajini will be one of the biggest films of this year. It stars Aamir Khan, so it's a special film. We have acquired it at a value that includes marketing and print expenses. We are working out a distribution strategy for the movie."

Talking about the famed resolutions to his fans, Aamir further writes, "I have managed to stick to no smoking, my workouts have begun again, diet is also getting back slowly though sometimes I break it, and sleeping is still not totally in place though that has seen an improvement too." Khan has been following a strict exercise regimen of three and a half hours and above for six days a week as he wants to get into super shape for the latter half of Ghajini as he shall be bare bodied for most parts. In fact he told his physical trainer Satyajit that he would make such a fantastic body that people will flock the theatres just to see his fine toned physique.

For last one year he is working really hard He weighed 84 kgs but now he has lost around 16 kgs. I can't say much but he is looking superb."

Aamir Khan's Ghajjini

Posted by s u c c e s s - 0 comments

His working style has always been questioned. But die hard fans of Aamir Khan believe that the actor does everything for a reason.

The latest is that is Aamir going SRK’s way? Yes its true. Aamir is toiling hard at the gym to get the much in demand “6 pack abs”. And this is not to impress his lady love, Kiran Rao. We think she is already impressed, specially after Taare Zameen Par. All these efforts are for his latest film, Ghajjini.

The actor who has been silently doing rigorous work-out sessions to develop a six-pack has done for it his role in Ghajjini. And Aamir is doing it for the sake of ‘power dressing’, as is demanded by thye script. And keeping him abreast with the latest in fashion is Van Heusen, who is creating a special merchandising line for the film.

In Ghajjini, Aamir Khan projects an extremely suave and professional CEO. To play on his character’s power-dressing factor, the actor will be seen wearing short-sleeved formal shirts, rolled up to tightly hug his bulging biceps.

Apart from doing wonders for the film, we will be little surprised if the look translates into a trend that takes the corporate world by storm. After all, isn’t it Aamir whose hairstyle in Dil Chahta Hain went on to become a
huge fashion statement?
