Amitabh Bachchan as Babban in Ramu's Aag (Source: HT)

So with all the Hype regarding Chak De India subsiding (after it’s release on the 11th of August), we have another biggie lined up for release.

It is none other than our very own Ramu’s (Ram Gopal Varma) next big film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgan in lead roles. The film is now titled, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (was previously called, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Sholay). The characters in the movie were renamed due to a legal dispute with the Sippy’s over character names and the movie name as well.

So now here’s a look at the main characters in the new movie:

  • Gabbar Singh becomes Babban (played by Amitabh Bachchan)
  • Veeru becomes, well it remains, Veeru (played by Ajay Devgan)
  • Jai becomes, well it remains, Jai (played by newcomer Prashant Raaj)
  • Radha becomes Durga (played by Sushmita Sen)
  • and last but not the least, Basanti becomes Ghungroo (played by Nisha Kothari)

So there you have it. What started off as Sholay has turned out to be a completely different film albeit with the same story and characters. It would be interesting to see Amitabh Bachchan playing Babban and giving Gabbar Singh his own definition. Best of Luck to you Mr. Bachchan. I know you can pull this off with ease. As for Ajay Devgan, I can’t think of any other actor as versatile as Ajay to be playing Veeru, a part immortalized by our Garam Dharam (Dharmendra).

The movie is slated for the last friday of August as stated by Ram Gopal Varma. Let’s hope it makes it to the theaters by that time since I am waiting impatiently to watch it.
