Court stays Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’ release after Tamil producer’s objection at 6:47 AM

Mumbai, Dec 23: The Madras High Court has stayed the release of Aamir Khan’s much-hyped film - ‘Ghajini’. The producer of the original Tamil ‘Ghajini’ objected to the film’s release, and applied for stay orders. Bollywood’s last and most awaited film for this year has now been put on hold.

Aamir Khan, the producer of the Hindi remake, is in a fix about the release date, which was scheduled to be this Christmas. The objection of Salem A Chandrasekaran, producer of the Tamil film, came as a surprise as the adaptation had been amicably agreed upon by both the Hindi and Tamil filmmakers in the past. AR Murugadoss, the director of the Tamil ‘Ghajini’, is also the director of the Hindi remake.

So far, producer-actor of the film, Aamir Khan, is unavailable for comment, and further information about the release date is yet to be announced.

‘Ghajini’ in Tamil language was a 2005 release, and it won over Aamir Khan with a tight, thrilling plot that revolves around the mysterious murder of an innocent girl. Asin, the heroine, is also common in both the versions. The film promised some high-octane action sequences, and Aamir donned a tough, eight-pack look for the same.
