Did you know 'Ghajini' climax was re-written by Aamir Khan?

Ghajini is one of the most acclaimed films in Hindi cinema. It was also the first Bollywood film to ever cross ₹100 crores at the box office also starting the prestigious “100 crore club” trend. The film opened to a full house in theatres and also succeeded in creating a loyal fan following.

Ghajini is a remake of A.R. Murugadoss’ 2005 film with the same name. The movie was widely publicised for its gripping scenes, Aamir Khan’s 8-pack abs, Asin and Aamir’s on-screen chemistry and for its soothing music album. The film released in 2008 and starred Aamir Khan, Asin Thottumkal, Jiah Khan, and Pradeep Singh Rawat in lead roles.

But not many people know that the climax of the movie was rewritten by Aamir. During a talk show, director A.R. Murugadoss revealed that the climax of the film was rewritten by Aamir. He also said that the actor re-polished the entire location, incidents and dialogue for the climax and considered that version far better than its original Tamil version.

The plot of Ghajini (Hindi)

The story is about a medical student, Sunita (Jiah Khan), who is curious to study the case of Sanjay Singhania, who suffers from short-term memory loss. She runs into him, befriends him, and finds out that he's about to kill, Ghajini Dharmatma. She then comes across a collection of diaries written by Sanjay after she warns the latter of the danger.
