Sholay Remake

I saw the remake of 'Don' last week, and was quite impressed. Atleast the 'dishum dishum' makes up for the other let-downs in the film, and obviously that Roma (Priyanka Chopra) is super hot. Hence the idea

Could there be a remake of Sholay??

I start out by thinking of all the roles, and who could possibly play them.

1) Amitabh (Jai)
2) Dharmendra (Veeru)
3) Hema Malini (Basanti)
4) Amjad Khan (Gabbar)
5)

Wait, somone already thought of this one too, damnit!!

As I was writing this post, it dawned on me that someone else (like a real movie producer) may already be working on this idea. And guess what, there is a remake of Sholay in the works.

Ram Gopal Verma is making the movie , and here is the anticipated cast.

1)Jai - Mohit Ahlawat
2)Veeru - Abhishek Bachan
3)Basanti -
4)Gabbar Singh - Amitabh Bachan
6)Thakur - Jeetendra

Before you get all excited

There's a legal battle going on between the Sippy family ( who hold the rights to Sholay) and Ram Gopal Verma, and the results are still not out yet.

Most likely the film will be an adaptation of Sholay, much like the recent film Omkara. Let see what happens.
