After the mega success of Ghajini, which was a remake of a Tamil Movie, Aamir Khan is looking at a Hollywood hit for his next venture.
Aamir Khan is totally transfixed by Forrest Gump, the Tom Hanks picture that grossed millions in 1996.
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.”
Forrest Gump is the story of a man with a low IQ. He accomplishes great things in his life and is present during significant historical events. But despite all that he has achieved, his one true love eludes him. The film is a 1994 comedy-drama. It is based on the 1986 novel by Winston Groom. According to an estimate, the film turned out to be a huge commercial success, earning US$677 million worldwide. It became the top grossing film in North America released that year. The film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director, (Robert Zemeckis), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).
His current movie Ghajini is also a remake of the 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.”
