HC
refuses stay, Aamir's Ghajini released across India
Mumbai:
Aamir Khan's much hyped flick Ghajini was released in
theatres across the country and abroad on schedule on
December 25, Christmas Day, as the Bombay High Court refused
to grant stay on its release. The hearing has been adjourned
until December 26. Trouble for the film started when the
Madras High Court on Tuesday stayed (and later lifted
the stay) the screening of Ghajini starring actor Aamir
Khan over the case of alleged copyright violation. Written
and directed by AR Murugadoss, Ghajini is a remake of
a Tamil film released three years ago under the same title.
Earlier, a Ghazini mania had hit Mumbai with employees
of multiplexes sporting Aamir Khan's hairstyle to promote
Ghajini. About 100 employees of a multiplex in Khan's
trendy hairdo posed for photographs with the actor himself.
Talking to reporters Khan said that it's a marketing device
and he is happy to see the excitement of the theatre staff.
"This is the part of a promotion plan which the marketing
team had come up long back. I think that it's great to
their enthusiasm that all the personnel in theatres are
showing towards the film, shows the excitement towards
the film that is coming. I can see that they feel it's
an event. I am glad they are looking upon it as that,"
he added. Khan will be flaunting his eight-pack abs and
trendy hairdo in Ghajini. He looks very brawny in his
eagerly awaited film Ghajini. The film was scheduled for
release on Diwali but was postponed to December 25. The
film is said to be on the theme of the protagonist suffering
from short-term memory loss and seeking revenge for his
wife's murder.
Bollywood
actor Jiah Khan, who has acted in Gajini, talked about
her role in the movie during a promotional programme in
Bangalore. Jiah Khan said that she played the role of
a medical student who studies the brain of a rich businessman
played by actor Aamir Khan in the movie. "In Ghajini,
I play a medical student. Her name is Sunita. She studies
the brain. She comes across Aamir Khan's case study. That
is how she gets involved in his personal vendetta and
his life," said Jiah Khan. Jiah Khan who has earlier acted
opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Ram Gopal Verma's movie `Nishabd'
compared the experience of working with both the Bollywood
stars Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and said that both
the actors were different from each other. "They are both
extremely different people. Bachchan is more spontaneous
and relaxed whereas Aamir is always striving for a better
take and to do better. But both are thorough professionals
which is really nice," she said. The movie is about a
rich businessman who suffers from a short-term memory
loss after a violent encounter. The movie directed by
AR Murugadoss has Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan and Mohit
Ahlawat in the cast.
