The 2008 thriller ‘Ghajini’ led by Aamir Khan emerged as a ground-breaking project, inaugurating the 100 crore club in Bollywood. Allu Aravind served as a presenter of the psychological action thriller, co-written and directed by A R Murugadoss. ‘Ghajini’ collected over 200 crores and it was a remake of Tamil actor Suriya’s eponymous film. On the other hand, the original title found inspiration in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Memento.’ Meanwhile, the 2008 also starred Asin and the late Jiah Khan. Now, ‘Ghajini 2’ seems to be in the cards. Now, the maker of the film, AR Murugadoss has opened up on the sequel.
Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, AR Murugadoss addressed the speculations surrounding ‘Ghajini 2.’ He said, “We have some ideas. Right now, we all are busy with our respective projects. Once we get time, we will sit and discuss.”
