If things go Aamir Khan’s way, his fans might have an opportunity to see him remake the Hollywood blockbuster Forrest Gump!
The movie has impressed Aamir so much that on being asked which film he would choose to do as a Hindi remake after Ghajini, he says, “It’s Tom Hanks‘ Forrest Gump. I have seen this film. It’s a wonderful movie. Tom Hanks has done a fantastic job. If I get an opportunity to do a remake, it has to be Forrest Gump.”
Forrest Gump is the story of a man with a low IQ. He has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historical events. But despite all that he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.
The film is a 1994 comedy-drama based on the 1986 novel by Winston Groom.
According to an estimate, the film turned out to be a huge commercial success, earning US$677 million worldwide. It became the top grossing film in North America released that year. The film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director, (Robert Zemeckis), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).
Every bit of the film is shot with so much of precision that that Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan can’t think of any other film for a perfect remake. Talking about the aspects of remakes, he feels that every film doesn’t qualify for a good remake.
His currently running movie Ghajini is also a remake of the Tamil film of the same name and Aamir says that the concept of 15 minutes of memory loss impressed him very much.
“This concept has not been used in any Bollywood film so far. So It impressed me very much and that’s why I thought of working in it. From my point of view Forrest Gump is also a very good film for a Hindi-remake.”
