Aamir Khan, one of Indian cinema’s most iconic actors, is known for consistently delivering box office hits. As the actor prepares for his upcoming film Sitara Zameen Par set for release in 2025, he’s also in talks with filmmakers to solidify his future projects. Among these discussions is the potential for Ghajini 2, a sequel to one of his most successful films.

According to a source close to the entertainment portal PinkVilla, Aamir is currently in discussions with producer Allu Aravind about turning Ghajini into a franchise. “He has asked Allu Aravind, Madhu Mantena, and the entire team to come up with a worthy subject for Ghajini 2. If that’s locked, he might go on to create history by doing a sequel to the first Rs 100 crore film of Indian Cinema,” shared the source. The team is actively brainstorming ideas, with Aamir awaiting the first draft. The source added, “Much like Lokesh’s film, Aamir is awaiting the first draft of Ghajini 2 too.”

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini (2008) was a landmark film in Indian cinema, both for its intense storytelling and its groundbreaking box office success. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Ghajini was a psychological thriller that follows the story of Sanjay Singhania, a man suffering from short-term memory loss as he seeks revenge for the brutal murder of his girlfriend, Kalpana (played by Asin). The film’s plot revolved around Sanjay’s quest for justice, which he accomplishes by using tattoos and photographs to track down the culprits, since he loses his memory every 15 minutes.

Aamir Khan’s portrayal of Sanjay Singhania was lauded for its physical and emotional intensity, showcasing his dedication to the role. Aamir underwent a physical transformation for the character, sporting a muscular physique, which became iconic. The film’s action sequences and emotional depth connected with audiences, making Ghajini a massive box office success. It became the first Indian film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, setting new standards for commercial cinema in India.

Ghajini was inspired by the 2000 Hollywood film Memento but was tailored to suit the Indian audience with a blend of romance, action, and tragedy. The film’s success cemented Aamir Khan’s reputation as a versatile actor and marked a pivotal moment in Bollywood, signaling the era of the Rs 100 crore club.
