Pradeep Singh Rawat - the man who coaxed Aamir Khan to remake Ghajini
Pradeep Singh Rawat, the actor who played the role of Sultan in Sarfarosh says he is the man behind Ghajini's remake as he had inspired Aamir Khan to see the Tamil film Ghajini. "I had played the negative lead in the original film and when we were shooting the director had casually told me that he wanted to make this film in Hindi too. Once we all - the Lagaan team- were celebrating Diwali at Aamir bhai's house when I made this proposal of the movie to Aamir. At that point he asked me if I had seen it and when I told that I have acted in the film he readily agreed. So I made arrangements for him immediately by asking director to send the prints to Mumbai." "As Aamir saw the film he had loads of praises for all characters. He called Surya - the lead actor in the original movie and praised him. He even thanked me for showing him the film," says the excited Rawat. And although Pradeep hasn't received a call from Aamir to act in this remake, Bapat says he still shares a close friendship with Aamir after having worked with the superstar in two films - Lagaan and Sarfarosh. "Even though he is perfectionist he is a very wonderful person at heart. He is very selective in decision but he always gives an opportunity to other actors who according to him will suit the role." -- Pradnya Talikoti http://cinemaa.indya.com/pradeep_aamir.html --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
