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.
