Trivia

  • The film is a remake of the director's own 2005 Tamil film of the same name, which itself was inspired by the Hollywood film 'Memento'.
  • Aamir Khan shaved his head for the role and underwent intense physical training to achieve a muscular physique, which became a major talking point.
  • The film's iconic '15-second memory' concept required the script to be meticulously structured to avoid continuity errors.
  • It was the first Hindi film to gross over ₹100 crore in India, setting a new benchmark for Bollywood box office success at the time.
  • The tattoo on Aamir Khan's character's chest, which reads 'Kalpana was killed', was applied with a temporary ink that took over an hour to put on daily.
  • The film's title 'Ghajini' is the name of the antagonist, a choice made to keep the villain's identity a mystery until the climax.
  • Parts of the song 'Guzarish' were filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, marking a rare international location shoot for the film's romantic portions.
