MUMBAI: Looking at AR Murugadoss it is difficult to imagine that he is the man behind Ghajini. Murugadoss directed the Tamil and Hindi versions of Ghajini.

The Hindi version starring Aamir Khan has met with roaring success at the box office. Khan in his own way is now paying tribute to the director by copying the character traits of Murugadoss in Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots.

Khan says, "I have been watching Murugadoss during the time we spent together while making Ghajini and now I am copying his character traits of being shy and quiet in my next movie 3 Idiots. My character requires me to be shy and that’s when I thought I should try and be like Murugadoss."

After flaunting his pumped up body in Ghajini, Aamir is now losing all the muslces for his character in 3 Idiots, where he plays an IIM student – Rancho.
