A look at Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay
Jai might have just been chosen, but Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay is well underway. From the looks of it, the film may release in May 2007.
From Jai in the 1975 original, Amitabh Bachchan will move on to play villain Gabbar Singh's role. Interestingly, he had always wanted to play Gabbar, even when Ramesh Sippy was directing the classic.
"I wanted to play Gabbar when I first heard the script," Bachchan had said. "But I was disappointed when Ramesh Sippy said that Amjad Khan would do it. I had to be satisfied with Jai's role. Gabbar's role is beautiful. He has great dialogues and the best scenes in the film."
