'Ghajini' producer presents gold statuette to Aamir Khan

National,Entertainment, Wed, 14 Jan 2009 IANS

Mumbai, Jan 14 (IANS) Madhu Mantena, who co-produced the super hit film 'Ghajini' with Allu Arvind, has presented an Oscar-sized gold statuette worth Rs.8 million to Aamir Khan.

 

It was designed specially to resemble the star's look in the action thriller, 'eight-pack-abs included', said Mantena.

 

 

The statuette has reportedly cost the producer close to Rs.

 

7-8 million. Mantena gave it to Aamir earlier this week, at a party held to celebrate the film's success.

 

 

'It has a certain amount of other metal to make it mouldable. Solid gold wouldn't allow the identical 'Ghajini' shape. But the idea was to create an Oscar-sized statue exclusively for 'Ghajini'. Aamir knew he was getting a trophy. But he didn't know it would be golden and with his 'Ghajini' look. He was overwhelmed,' Mantena told IANS.

 

 

Director A.R. Murugadoss was given a statue too.
