Aamir Khan has been trying to make his acting comeback and while he chose Sitaare Zameen Par for it, the actor might be eyeing something bigger. Back in 2008, when his film Ghajini was released, the movie broke many box office records as it went on to be the first film to enter Rs. 100 crore club. Many movies, especially featuring the Khans, went on to touch or cross the very mark since. Aamir might be trying to recreate the very magic, as he hinted at the Ghajini sequel recently. Producer Allu Aravind put out the idea, and Aamir was more than ready to take it on. Here's how the conversation went...
