Mumbai, April 15: After tasting phenomenal Box Office success with Aamir Khan in the super hit movie "Ghajini", Tamil director Murugadoss has shown keen interest in working with Bollywood’s favourite Khan - Shah Rukh Khan and is working on the story. At the launch of his new Kannada film ‘Suryakanthi’ on Monday, the ace director confirmed, "Yes, I`m working on a subject. I had a meeting with Shah Rukh Khan once and I discussed a story with him. But frankly nothing has been finalised. We are still to meet many a times before a decision is taken." Murugadoss` "Ghajini" which was a remake of a Tamil hit grossed about Rs.250 crore. Talking about the mainstream Hindi cinema, Murugadoss was all praise and said, "Hindi film industry is big. The budgets are huge and we have freedom to narrate the film in a big way. I would like to direct one more Hindi film and then return to make South Indian films." The director added that he has included several changes in the script of Hindi remake after watching "Memento" - "I watched `Memento` before writing the script of `Ghajini`. But one thing I have to emphasise here is that the characterisation of the hero was changed after I saw `Memento`. In my original script, I had made the hero as a handicapped person after sustaining injuries. But I had changed it and included the memory loss syndrome after seeing Memento." However, the director was quick to add that he had several rounds of fruitful discussions with actor Aamir, who helped him in recreating a novel script which led to a successful film.
