Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

A month ago we had no idea who Jiah Khan was. However all that changed when it became public that she is doing the Indian adaptation of ‘Lolita’ opposite Big B and is also Aamir Khan’s step sister (which was all hogwash according to the parties concerned. 

Now it’s none other than Ram Gopal Verma who has signed the nymphet for his remake version of Sholay! She will play Basanti (why god why?) and Ramu who is pretty delusional these days is convinced she will do full justice to the role which has been immortalized by Hema Malini on the Indian celluloid!  If you are conjuring horror images of Jiah Khan as a Tangewali relax as this Basanti would be different!  I ask again Ramu, why?

So now according to the rumors Amitabh Bachchan will play Gabbar Singh. Ajay Devgan will be seen as Veeru, Mohit Ahlawat will play Jai and Katrina Kaif will be seen as the widow Radha.
