Big Pictures, the motion pictures brand of Reliance Big Entertainment Ltd distributing the film internationally, is not leaving any stone unturned to make Ghajini the most watched film of 2008 in the overseas market.

Aamir Khan has been off the screen for almost a year and his fan base cannot wait, having already pushed the soundtrack up on the charts," says Jawahar Sharma, COO, international distribution, Big Pictures.
"Ghajini is by far the most awaited film of 2008. With the storyline revolving around short term memory loss, with all the excitement and intrigue imaginable, we are hopeful of meeting the audiences’ expectation this holiday season. We are confident of the team at Big Pictures and have completely backed their vision for promoting the film overseas," said producer Madhu Mantena.
A. Geetha Arts production, Ghajini is a remake of the Tamil film with the same title, also directed by A.R. Murugadoss. In the Hindi version starring with Aamir Khan are Asin Thottumkal, Jiah Khan, Mohit Ahlawat and Riyaz Khan.
