So
what's
the
price
of
the
next
biggie
to
hit
the
screens
this
year?
I'm
talking
of
Ghajini.
There's
tremendous
speculation
about
the
price
of
the
film,
with
75,
80
and
90
crores
being
quoted
by
various
sections
of
the
media.
The
truth
is
something
else.
Quiz
Ghajini
producer
Madhu
Mantena
about
it
and
he
adds
promptly,
"The
India
theatrical
business
has
been
sold
for
Rs.
40
cr.
(to
Studio
18),
while
the
Overseas
rights
(sold
to
Big
Pictures)
has
fetched
Rs.10
cr." Of
course,
the
Satellite
rights
(sold
for
Rs.
20
cr.
to
Studio
18),
Home
Video
(not
sold
yet)
and
Audio
rights
(sold
to
T-Series)
have
also
fetched
handsome
amounts.
Another
interesting
aspect
about
Ghajini
is
that
the
film
isn't
a
scene
to
scene
copy
of
the
original
Ghajini
(Tamil).
"We've
changed
the
last
30
minutes
of
the
film.
It's
completely
different
from
the
original,"
Madhu
says.
That
increases
the
expectations
from
this
Aamir
Khan
starrer
all
the
more.
