Director Ramu is not the only filmmaker who wants to remake Sholay. There are three versions of the film on the floors right now. Even after thirty two years of its release, Ramesh Sippy's Sholay seems to be the inspiration for many filmmakers. After Ram Gopal Varma announced his intentions to start work on the remake of Sholay, producer Ektaa Kapoor announced a Bhojpuri Sholay. Now Ajay Chandok, who has just finished Nehle Pe Dehla with Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan and Bipasha Basu, has also started work on his film titled Phir Sholay. The news is that film stars Arbaaz Khan, Javed Jaffrey, Aashish Chowdhary and Akshay Kapoor are in lead roles.
However, the director is not to revealing anything further. Incidentally Ektaa's film, which is directed by Mahesh Pande, is focused on Gabbar Singh while Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay is the modern version of the classic where Amitabh Bachchan plays Gabbar Singh while Ajay Devgan plays Veeru. Other cast are yet to be finalised. So dear fans keep your finger crossed till then !
