Aamir re-wrote the entire climax of Ghajini

Aamir Khan has just found himself another fan among filmmakers. The softspoken and gentle Tamil-Telugu director A.R Murugadoss who has made what is unarguably one of the most violent films of our times, is completely enamoured of Aamir's creative faculties.

In fact the simple and honest director who has earlier made four highly successful films in Tamil and Telugu openly acknowledges that Aamir re-constructed the entire climax of Ghajini to make it more contemporary and palatable to a cosmopolitan audience.

"We didn't make too many changes in the rest of the film. Every time I'd suggest a change in Ghajini from the original, Aamir would firmly cut it down saying we should stick to the Tamil script.

But he decided we should rewrite the entire climax. The entire location, incidents and dialogues for the Climax were re-written by Aamir. I think the Hindi version is far better than the Tamil Ghajini because of the changes that Aamir made."

Whatever Murugadoss makes next (and the offer will crystallize after the year-ending week) Murugadoss has only one wish.

"I want Aamir to be my consultant. Ghajini in Hindi would've been impossible without him. What he did to the climax was amazing. Now whatever I make I want Aamir's guidance. I don't know Hindi at all.

But I knew the meaning of the Tamil words and groped my way through the Hindi dialogues in Ghajini. Every time I was stuck on a word or line I'd call up Aamir. I've learnt so much from him, " says the litterateur-turned-filmmaker who has several short -story anthologies in Tamil to his credit.

Though many people in Mumbai feel the title role of the villain in Ghajini should have been played by a better-known actor Murugadoss is happy with Pradeep Rawat. "He is not entirely unknown in Hindi cinema. He played the the Sardarji in Lagaan."

Murugadoss admits he felt a little out of place in Mumbai initially. "But today a filmmaker is not restricted to any one region. Ghajini has gone so smoothly from Tamil to Hindi. Now I want to take a break, visit my native town Kallakurichi near Chennai and come back to sign my second Hindi film."

Next Murugadoss wants to direct a totally non-violent film in Hindi. "My next Hindi film will be an out-and-out love story. There won't be even a slap in the narrative. I've acquired the reputation of being a violent director. But apart from Ghajini all my films are soft and gentle."

Ranbir isn't playing Akshay Aishwarya's son

Ranbir Kapoor is undoubtedly B-Town hot property. The busy actor is preparing simultaneously for three projects currently- 'Rajnithi', 'Wake Up Sid' and 'Ajab Prem Ki Kahani'.

So much so that he had no time to read Vipul Shah's script which he's penning with his favourite Akshay Kumar in mind.

Sources say that Vipul Shah who wanted to make a fantasy film this time zeroed in on the Hollywood hit 'Action Replay'.

Michael J. Fox played the lead in the original version. The film centers on Marty McFly, a teenager who is unexpectedly sent back and forth in time of present-past-future and meets his parents at his high-school days.

He's sent back in time from 1985 to 1955 and also accidentally attracts his mother's romantic interest. Marty must repair the damage to history by causing his parents to fall in love, while finding a way to return to 1985.

Akshay Kumar dons the lead role while Aishwarya Rai is the female lead opposite him.

Vipul Shah wanted Ranbir in the very important role of Akki-Ash's son. But since Ranbir is so busy with his three projects and another one with Mani Rathnam, he had to turn him down.

If all goes well for the film, this indeed will be a big opportunity lost by Ranbir.

Keira Knightley is one of those beautiful celebrities who is never smiling. But she's not trying to mimic Victoria Beckham—she just has a nervous disposition. Keira insists she doesn't pose that way deliberately. She says, "I think I was pouty when I was 16 or 17 when my first films came out and it's sort of stuck. I don't know, maybe I still do it. It's when I'm nervous and my neck gets really really tense and then that pressure sort of squeezes up to my lips and they push out and well, there you go, that's the pout."This might be mean, but Keira almost looks better when she doesn't smile. She has that mysterious look to her that makes her sexy. So keep those pearly whites right where they are!
