In the much awaited film of the year, 'Ghajini', Aamir's look has been a much discussed one.

Now it's well known that the South Indian hit 'Ghajini' of which Aamir's film is a remake was based on 'Memento' a Hollywood film with Guy Pearce and Carrie-Ann Moss in lead roles.

Guy Pearce appeared as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator searching for the man he believes raped and killed his wife during a burglary.

Leonard suffers from anterograde amnesia, which he contracted from severe head trauma during the attack on his wife. This renders his brain unable to store new memories.

To cope with his condition, he maintains a system of notes, photographs, and tattoos to record information about himself and others, including his wife's killer.

Interestingly the film's events unfold in two separate, alternating narratives—one in color, and the other in black and white.

The black and white sections are told in chronological order. Leonard's investigation is depicted in five-minute color sequences that are in reverse chronological order.

So though the story is not directly lifted, it's been Indianized to make 'Ghajini'. According to Aamir the Southern version and his 'Ghajini' are better than 'Memento'!

In the promos of the film, loads of tattoos are seen on Aamir's body.

The actor's body and eight packs seems to be more inspired by Hollywood actor Jason Statham than Guy Pearce.

Aamir look is very similar to Jason Statham, his eight packs and crew haircut. The reports are that the resemblance between the two actors' muscular bodies and look is too uncanny!

Sources close to Aamir however reveal, "According to Aamir, 'Ghajini' is not a remake of Memento and as far as his newly found muscular body is concerned, he has put in a lot of effort.

He is a perfectionist and he might have been inspired by Statham as he likes to watch these Hollywood films and attain their kind of perfection. But only he will be able to clarify if Statham is his inspiration."

Well, we think we can get clear about this 'who inspired whom' status only after the film releases!
