Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and Tamil cinema icon Suriya are gearing up for a unique and ambitious project Ghajini 2. What makes this upcoming film particularly exciting is the simultaneous shooting of the Hindi and Tamil versions. Both Aamir and Suriya have expressed interest in avoiding the usual remake route, opting instead for a fresh approach that sidesteps the typical remake tag.
Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Aamir Khan has been in discussions with producers Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena about a sequel to the 2008 cult hit Ghajini. The film, which broke box-office records and garnered a massive fan base, seems ready for its long-awaited follow-up. A sequel has been in the works for a while, but the unique twist this time is the simultaneous production of the movie in both Hindi and Tamil.
This idea emerged after extensive conversations between Aamir, Suriya, and the producers. Both actors reportedly conveyed their concerns that releasing one version before the other could dampen the novelty factor of the sequel. With the increasing popularity of pan-India films, remakes of cult hits with star-studded casts have become passé. Instead, simultaneous releases offer a unique experience for fans across languages.
According to insiders, this synchronized shoot ensures that the two films hit theaters on the same day. It’s a strategy designed to preserve the excitement and prevent spoilers from ruining the experience for fans. The producers, Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena have reportedly taken the concerns of both stars seriously and are working diligently to ensure that the sequel is an organic continuation of the first film’s story.
Suriya, who originally starred in the Tamil version of Ghajini, has confirmed that discussions are underway. “It was surprising when Allu Aravind brought up the idea for a sequel after all these years. We’ve started talking about it, and things are progressing. Ghajini 2 might happen,” the actor revealed in an interview.
Aamir Khan is also excited about the project but, like Suriya, is waiting for the final bound script before committing to any paperwork. Both actors are keen to ensure that the sequel lives up to the original, which was a game-changer for their careers. The focus, according to sources, is to create an organic storyline rather than simply capitalizing on the success of the first film.
The scripting process for Ghajini 2 is currently underway, and fans can expect a clearer picture of the project by mid-2025. With such high stakes and expectations, both actors and producers are taking their time to ensure that the sequel meets the high bar set by the original.
Interestingly, this simultaneous shoot strategy isn’t limited to Ghajini 2. The team behind the Drishyam franchise is reportedly considering a similar approach, with plans to shoot both the Hindi and Malayalam versions of their next film simultaneously. This method not only caters to fans of both languages but also ensures that the thrill of the story remains intact across regions.
With a carefully crafted strategy and a team of experienced filmmakers, Ghajini 2 is poised to be a cinematic event like no other, bringing two megastars together in a unique collaboration. Fans of Aamir Khan and Suriya are eagerly awaiting more updates on this highly anticipated project.
