Allu Aravind teases a ₹1000 crore film with Aamir Khan,
Remember the movie that had us all nervously glancing at our diaries and writing “I must remember this plot twist forever”? Yes, Ghajini! The 2008 blockbuster that starred Aamir Khan gave us a workout montage that made us reconsider gym memberships. Well, in a new twist, producer Allu Aravind wants to bring back Ghajini in an even bigger, more mind-blowing sequel. And when we say “bigger,” we’re not just talking about Aamir Khan’s biceps. Aravind’s vision reportedly involves a budget that’ll make Bollywood history: a staggering Rs 1000 crore.
Aravind had served as a presenter of the psychological action thriller, co-written and directed by A R Murugadoss in his Hindi film debut. Ghajini earned over Rs 200 crore and it was a remake of Tamil star Suriya’s film of the same title and also featured Asin and late Jiah Khan.
“That time reaching Rs. 100 crores at the box office was impossible. In the middle of the film, he challenged us on the sets and this will be the first ₹100 crores film,” Aravind told reporters at the trailer launch press conference of Thandel.
“We were wishing like that. Ghajini is the first film to do Rs 100 crore. Now, Rs. 100 crores is equivalent to Rs 1000 crore. I want to make a Rs 1000 crore film with you , maybe Ghajini 2,” Aravind, known for backing films like Master, Magadheera and Ala Vaikuntapuramulo, added.
Aamir Khan called Aravind his elder brother and said that he immediately agreed to be the chief guest at the Hindi trailer launch event of Thandel, featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. “Even without knowing anything I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I want you to know that this film is coming on February 7th’. I was like, ‘ok, so?’. He replied, ‘Your son’s film is also releasing the same day,” Aamir said. His son, Junaid Khan’s film Loveyappa, be released on February 7.
“I believe all films will work. When the story is good then the audience likes those films. In the past, we’ve seen films that were released on the same day and they did well . It’s a fantastic trailer, it is well-shot and has great music,” the actor said about Thandel, according to PTI.
