The second lead actress of Ghajini , Jiah Khan is conspicuously missing from the promos of the film - neither is she a part of any publicity stunt.‘Ghajini’ is the second movie for Jiah Khan after the dud Nishabd . And apparently, it was Kangana Ranaut who was considered for this role which later went to Jiah Khan.
For Jiah, it wasn’t a cakewalk to get this role. Her screen test was taken by Aamir ‘the perfectionist’ Khan and director A R Murugadoss . And Jiah, who was mentally prepared for rejection, broke into tears when the announcement came that she was in for the movie.
Even Aamir complimented Jiah, "Aamir told my mother that if I was a part of 'Ghajini' it was because of my own achievement and talent," she was quoted as saying.
Compliments notwithstanding, Jiah is nowhere to be seen in the film’s promos. In fact it’s obvious by now after seeing ‘Ghajini’ posters that it’s Aamir who’s hogging the limelight. Southern actress Asin who is making her way into Bollywood through this flick by playing the main lead, too is getting less attention.
Whatever be the reason, ‘Ghajini’ is being promoted in a big way and will be released with 1200 prints all over India. And as far as Jiah is concerned, the lady may be the surprise package and that’s why she has been relegated. Well, it’s heard that she has done a Jennifer Lopez act by dancing to the tune of spunky and chic song ‘Lattoo’.
It remains to be seen what ‘Ghajini’ will do for Jiah and her career. At least there isn't an old dude drooling over her legs in this film.
