Ram Gopal Varma’s Sholay to be released on the inauspicious by the Christian calendar – Friday the 13th of July. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Sushmita Sen, Mohanlal. The movie is close 2hrs and 30mins, while Ramesh Sippy’s original was 3hrs and 19mins.
Though the length has been reduced, there’re more characters in Ramu’s Sholay than in Sippy’s and the new Sholay is very very different from the old, says someone close to the project who’s had a dekko.
A sneak peak of the film shows that actor to watch besides Amitabh Bachchan as Gabbar is Sushmita Sen. Dressed in black, her silences as the widowed Radha will stun the audiences.
