Despite the media reports that Ram Gopal Varma ’s ‘Sholay’ has been postponed, the filmmaker has clearly stated that the movie will go on the floors soon.
For almost a year, much has been written and spoken about Ramu’s remake of Ramesh Sippy’s cult hit movie Sholay . There has been shuffling in the movie’s star cast – Abhishek Bachchan was roped in and then dropped – and the project kept on getting delayed while Ramu kept busy with other films. And now, when an obituary of the project has nearly been written in some media reports, Ramu has said that he will indeed make the movie in the coming months.
Ramu’s unwavering dedication to make the film was reflected in his recent decision to scrap his proposed movie ‘Time Machine’ with Shah Rukh Khan . Ramu said SRK was too candyfloss a hero for his style of filmmaking. The director said he would rather make ‘Sholay’ with Amitabh Bachchan .
But then, doubts about the project were again raised, when rumours floated that Ramu would now make another film titled ‘Badla’ with Randeep Hooda , and ‘Sholay’ has been pushed to the backburner.
Ramu has dispelled all such rumours and made it clear that the film will indeed roll in August. The movie will most likely be completed by November.
‘Sholay’ remake will star Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Gabbar Singh. The film also stars Ajay Devgan and Mohit Ahlawat .
