Controversial King MR.Ram Gopal Varma is once again in the news for his foolish actions. This time it’s not a new one but an old “Aag”. RGV who made the “Aag” which was a copy of classic film Sholay, was released in 2007. This film has earned good amount of bad reputation for RGV and also was a huge disaster at the Box-Office.

Sholay which was directed by Ramesh Sippy was released in 1975, became a mile stone Indian Film history. This movie was debilitated, copied and pasted in the film “Aag” staring Ajay Devgan, Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan himself (hero in Sholay).

The producer of Sholay who felt the discomfort of his film being remade, which resulted in a disaster has filed a complaint against Ram Gopal Varma. The petition was filed by Sascha Sippy, son of GP Sippy, who produced Sholay.

The high court imposed the fine on RGV and his production houses M/S RGV Productions Pvt Ltd, Varma Corporation Ltd and Madhu Varma and restrained them from using Gabbar Singh or Gabbar from Sholay.

The high court also added that that Ram Gopal Varma’s “Aag” has not shown the true facts that Sholay carried and destroyed the original content of film.

‘Sholay’ starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini etc is a landmark film in the history of Indian cinema. Released on 15th August in 1975, it is about to complete 40 years on tomorrow. Now, Amitabh Bachchan’s son Abhishek bachchan has surprised everyone by saying that he has seen the premiere of this iconic movie.

Now, how did his 39 year old actor watched the premier of the film which was released 40 years ago? Abhishek, who is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film ‘All Is Well’, clarified that he was in his mother Jaya Bachchan’s womb at that time and has watched the premiere from there itself. Bachchan’s comic sense is on display here.

Co-starring Asin, Rishi Kapooor, ‘All is Well’ is slated for release soon.

The 1975 hit blockbuster directed by Ramesh Sippy, Sholay, will be screened in its 3 D version in Australia at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). The film will be screened on May 1st the presence of megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who will also officially inaugurate the 11 day long festivities marking the Bollywood extravaganza. Bachchan, 71, will also be felicitated and honoured on the occasion.

That’s not all. Amitabh will be awarded by the Victorian Government and he will give away a scholarship names after him to an Indian Student there.

Amitabh played the iconic role of ‘Jai’ in the film, which made a lasting impression on the minds of audience along with his equally celebrated co-star Dharmendra, for his role as ‘Veeru’. Sholay depicts a whole new landmark in Indian Cinema, bringing in the new era of film making. All the characters in the film are immortal and have been epitomised as ‘Sholay Characters’.

Another everlasting character was ‘Gabbar Singh’ played by late Amzad Khan. The tales of Gabbar Singh will never be forgotten on the tell-tale marquee of Indian films.

Basanti, portrayed by evergreen actress Hema Malini, carried its own charms too. This and more, Sholay stands tall and class apart for generations to come!
