Ram Gopal Verma is getting confused by the day. While he is announcing controversial films like 'Sex Haazir Ho' his much hyped remake of 'Sholay' is undergoing changes on a daily basis. With GP Sippy's scion Sasha Sippy taking Verma to court, Ramu has decided to do away with names of the main star cast. Even Gabbar may have a new name.
I don't like Big B as Gabbar Singh for he looks old and forlorn. Amjad Khan's son Shadab Khan feels RGV is doing a big mistake by playing around with a character immortalized by his dad. Well, while that debate boils, the Basanti has been decided. Hold your breath guys, the oomph-cracker Nisha Kothari has been penciled in to play Hema. And her name will be Ghungroo and she won't be riding a horse'.It will be an auto rickshaw instead. Having interviewed Kothari, I can definitely say that she is not even one percent as good an actress as Hema Malini. And as for Sushmita Sen playing Jaya Bachchan's Radha'Her name is Devi and she is the widowed sister-in-law of Thakur Mohan Lal.
It's tough doing a remake. And with such mutilations, I don't know how people will be reacting to 'Ram Gopal Verma's Sholay'. It won't be surprising if the name 'Sholay' is replaced by 'Flame''.What's in a name anyways'..Right Mr Verma!
