Know More: Interviews 2.0, Interviews

What can I say about Ram Gopal Verma? Words just fail me and I am quite articulate! The man is hell-bent on remaking Sholay and after the tortuous Shiva and movies like James etc I have lost all my faith in Ramu! That and his offhand comments about the inferiority of women. Anyways here some excerpts from an interview and RGV is at his pompous best!

On People Not Excited About A Sholay Remake:

“Do they? Sorry, I can't oblige them. People don't know what I'm

making, so they're just reacting nostalgically. Everyone from Jayaji and Dharamji to my other well-wishers have advised me to stay away from Sholay. Dharamji has apparently said he'd jump off that water tank if I messed up Sholay. Why should he jump off? He should push me off that tank if I mess up with Sholay. I've made humungous preparations! Nothing in my Sholay would be the same as the earlier Sholay. For example there's no Basanti in my Sholay.”

“People say I'm not capable of re-making Sholay. I've one consolation for them. Since the critics have already exhausted all their expletives for Shiva, they'd have nothing left to say about Sholay. I think they’ll pool their money and hire a gangster to get rid of me. If Allah, Jesus Christ and Vaishno Devi come together to plead against my doing Sholay I'm still be making it. Aage jo hoga wohdekha jayega .”

“Some said I'm faking it because I don't have the copyrights. 95 percent people have nothing to do, so they create constant hallucinations about other people's work. I'm starting Sholay on 4 October. I'll start with scenes featuring Mr Bachchan as Gabbar Singh. You've no idea how excited Mr Bachchan is.”
