RGV plans Sholay remake

By IndiaFM News Bureau, July 07th 2005 - 1145 hrs IST


Riding high on the success of Sarkar, Ram Gopal Varma is all set to realise one more dream. The filmmaker has planned a remake of Sholay - a film close to his heart and one of his all time favorites.

The remake will be titled, Ram Gopal Varma Ka Sholay and instead of being located in Ramgarh the film will be located in Varma's favourite, Mumbai underworld. The legendary Gabbar will not be a leader of dacoits but an urban don.

Varma says that Godfather and Sholay have always been his favorites and after the remake of one got successful, he couldn't resist remaking the other. The film will feature fresh faces.

Plot Summary for
Sholay (1975)

Two convicts and small time crooks (Amitabh and Dharmendra) are picked by Thakur (Sanjeev Kumar), a former police officer, to seek vengeance on the dangerous bandit Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan) because he killed all of Thakur's family (except a daughter-in-law) and maimed Thakur for life.This was a result of an earlier incident in which Thakur -- acting as a police officer -- had captured Gabbar and helped in his conviction in the court. Gabbar managed to escape and wreaked havoc in Thakur's life. Now Thakur seeks the help of these two crooks to get Gabbar. The ensuing action makes for one of the most exciting Indian movies made to date.

Summary written by Chetan Ahuja {Ahuja@student.msu.edu}

Thakur Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar) seeks to avenge the cold-blooded massacre of his family at the hands of notorious bandit Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan). Since he is unable to do so on his own, he recruits Veeru (Dharmendra) and Jaidev (Amitabh Bachchan). Both are jailbirds and have in and out of various jails. They are reportedly known to carry out any work provided the compensation is right. Both agree to capture Gabbar Singh live and hand him over to Baldev Singh. Things do not go as planned. Veeru falls for the local horse carriage driver Basanti (Hema Malini); and Jai starts to have romantic feelings for Baldev Singh's widowed daughter-in-law, Radha (Jaya Bhaduri). To make matters worse, Gabbar has sworn to kill both Jai and Veeru, and holds Basanti as a hostage, to lure them to him

Yup...he made some of the best underworld movies as well. Verma's "Company" basically catapulted Vivek Oberoi to the top.

I hope he gets Manoj Bajpai for this flick...wonder who will play Gabbar Singh! Amjad Khan is a tough act to follow.
