Aaamir Khan’s Ghajini may face some elephantine competition from none other than Akshay Kumar’s first animation film Jumbo. Both films released yesterday. Interestingly both the films are remakes. Jumbo is made from Thai film Khan Kluay with Akshay and Lara Dutta’s voice overs while Ghajini was previously made in Tamil by AR Murugadoss.
Both the films have been promoted and packaged informatively with the lead actors going the extra mile to make sure that their movies catch audience attention.
Aamir Khan took part in a fashion show to promote his upcoming action thriller where he modelled for a collection that was created exclusively for Ghajini. He didn’t stop at that and even turned barber for a day giving the Ghajini hair cut to fans at promotional events.
Though an animation, Jumbo is being pitched as an Akshay film and is banking on the actor’s star power to attract audiences.
Cricketer Yuvraj Singh has also been roped in to promote the movie.
