Aamir Khan eyeing Forrest Gump

Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini was a remake of a Tamil Movie which happened to be a big success. After this mega success Aamir Khan is looking at a Hollywood hit for his next venture. Aamir Khan is said to be totally transfixed by Forrest Gump, the Tom Hanks picture that grossed millions in 1994.

The movie has impressed Aamir so much that on being asked which film he would choose to do as a Hindi remake after Ghajini, he says, “It’s Tom Hank’s Forrest Gump. I have seen this film. It’s a wonderful movie. Tom Hanks has done a fantastic job. If I get an opportunity to do a remake, it has to be Forrest Gump.”

His current movie Ghajini is also a remake of a Tamil film of the same name and Aamir says that the concept of 15 minutes of memory loss impressed him very much. “This concept has not been used in any Bollywood film so far. So it impressed me very much and that’s why I thought of working in it. From my point of view Forrest Gump is also a very good film for a Hindi-remake.”

Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini gets English Subtitles

Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini will be screened with English subtitles in select cinema halls from coming Friday.

Big Cinemas, the exhibition arm of Reliance BIG Entertainment Ltd (RBEL) has announced this. This is for the sake of the hearing impaired and for those who don’t understand Hindi.

The idea is to ensure that the movie is viewed by maximum number of people.

The sub-titled digital prints of Ghajini will be screened at BIG cinema’s property in central Mumbai and at the Metro Big Cinema in South Mumbai.

Meanwhile, deputy director of Helen Keller Institute for Deaf & Blind, NU Nayak, has welcomed the initiative.

Asin Thotumkal shifting to Mumbai

It seems, the South Indian hottie Asin Thotumkal was waiting for this time. She is shifting to Mumbai now that her career in Bollywood has taken off, starting with Aamir Khan’s Ghajini.

Asin’s parents are also moving in with her in Bandra where she is in the lookout for a home. Her parents have moved from Chennai to Mumbai with her.

“Both of them gave up their jobs to be with me. Mom is a doctor. She has taken voluntary retirement. She manages my home now. And dad had seven business enterprises. He gave them up to look after my career. Right now I’m quite a handful and worth more than all his business ventures,” Asin reveals.

Asin, who is a fun loving and loves to talk, admits she was asked to keep quiet till “Ghajini” hits the screen. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Allu Arvind, the film starring Aamir Khan in main lead was released Friday.

She will be moving into her new home in Bandra in January 2009.

Is ASIN the next Bollywood Queen

The race for the top slot among the bollywood actresses seems to be getting hotter and hotter day by day. Till few weeks ago, the field seemed to be clear for Katrina Kaif. But that was before Fashion and Dostana happened and Priyanka Chopra was back in reckoning.

Now with the release of Ghajini around the corner, the film's heroine Asin, seems to be tipped to be the next big thing that has happened to Hindi cinema. Even before the release of Ghajini, the actress has already been signed on by Vipul Shah for his London Dreams where she is paired opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan.

It reveals quite a lot for the actress, who has already made waves without a single release whatsoever. She has already started acting like a B town heroine she is believed to have sat through the entire shooting of a song which was being picturised on Ghajini's second heroine, Jiah Khan. Could be she was checking out the competition.

But with reports of her having endeared herself to all her co stars, the actress seems set to go places. We are sure that Katrina will be feeling a little insecure. And there is one more top class contender whomwe can’t ignore and she is Deepika Padukone.
