Ghajinikanth

Ghajinikanth is a 2018 Tamil-language romantic comedy from India, written and directed by Santhosh P. Jayakumar and produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja. Arya and Sayyeshaa play the leads. It is a remake of the 2015 Telugu film Bhale Bhale Magadivoy. The hero, Rajini, has a forgetful streak that embarrasses his parents and complicates his courtship of Vandhana, whose father insults him over it, and the comedy comes from how long he can hide the condition from her while a policeman suitor tries to expose him. The title blends Ghajini and Rajinikanth, a nod to the forgetful hero of Dharmathin Thalaivan and to the amnesiac hero of the 2005 film Ghajini. A Tamil remake was first announced in 2015 with a different lead and never happened; the Arya version was announced in late November 2017 by Studio Green, opened with a song shot in Thailand and then moved to Chennai, and finished shooting in 39 days. Balamurali Balu composed the soundtrack. Critics gave it mixed notices, and the satellite rights went to Star Vijay.
