which mean the gravitational pull multiplies according to the weight ..

On the contrary. As stated earlier in this thread, the two masses (say 2kg and 4kg) would experience the same force of gravity and thus, all other things being equal, fall towards the ground from any given altitude, at the same rate. On the other hand, if we actually take into account the gravitational forces applied by the masses on Earth, there is a very small, for all intents and purposes, unmeasureably miniscule difference in the rates at which they would fall. For two VERY massive objects, the rate would be significantly different than for one very massive object and something lighter, like a building, or a bowling ball, or a feather (all of which would be significantly lighter than the "very massive" object.
