After making the super-hit film Ghajini in Tamil with Surya in the lead, director A.R Murugadoss made the film in Hindi with the same title staring Aamir Khan in the lead. Asin played the heroine in both the versions, romancing Surya in the Tamil version and Aamir Khan in the Hindi version. Harris Jeyaraj and A.R Rahman scoredthe music respectively for t he Tamil and Hindi versions.
A.R Murugadoss, who turned producer by releasing his first production venture Engeyum Kaadhal last week, is now gearing up to release his next directorial venture titled 7am Arivu on Dewali which falls next month. The film stars Surya in triple roles and pits debutant Shruti Hassan (elder daughter of Kamal Hassan) opposite him.
Surya’s roles of a scientist, a Buddhist monk and a Circus artiste would be a visual treat to his fans as well as movie-goers, it is informed. A.R Murugadoss, courted by many Bollywood superstars, is said to be planning to remake 7am Arivu in Hindi with Aamir Khan in the lead.
On his part, Aamir Khan who is said to be following the script and the progress of 7am Arivu with keen interest, is willing to star in the Hindi version of the film. It would be the second film for the deadly combo of Aamir Khan and A.R Murugadoss after their highly successful Ghajini. The heroine of the Hindi version would be decided later, it is said.

A.R Murugadoss Tamil film for Bollywood?
Director A.R Murugadoss, synonymous with the 2008 blockbuster Ghajini, featuring Aamir Khan and Asin, hadn’t planned to move down south after his Bollywood debut. However, three years on, he has directed and co-produced a Tamil movie, Engaeyum Eppothum, with Fox Star Studios. The film that released last Friday, has been applauded by the audience down south and is likely to be made in Hindi.
Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, asserts, “It has become a trend to remake hit south Indian films in Hindi. And I don’t see anything wrong with that because a lot of Hindi-speaking cinegoers don’t understand or have access to these lovely films. A couple of them have beautiful narratives that transcend the barriers of language and actors. So if Engaeyum Eppothum becomes a huge hit, then we could look to remake it in Hindi.” The film in question is a romantic movie toplining Jai, Anjali, Ananya and Sharvanand in pivotal roles.
When asked if Murugadoss would also direct the Hindi remake, Singh, without commenting directly on the subject, says, “We have been on the lookout for interesting projects. Murugadoss has an impeccable track record, and has demonstrated great understanding of Tamil and Hindi audiences. We are committed to building relationships with the best in Indian cinema and are delighted to have him as part of our close-knit family.”
A.R Murugadoss started his career a decade ago with a Tamil film called Dheena. He also directed two Telugu films, Tagore & Stalin, before venturing into Bollywood with his 2005 Tamil blockbuster Ghajini that starred Surya, Asin & Nayantara. After the aforementioned movie, the director has another Tamil movie lined up called 7am Arivu with Suriya and Shruti Hassan.
