Well one latest (hopefully) news in bollywood,i know of is that Big B,  is palying Gabbar Singh in the remake of Sholay (A megahit bollywood movie), being directed by Ram Gopal Verma. For thos who dont know, he played the role of the ‘hero’ in the original as ‘Jai’ and Amjad Khan was the villain. Alas, Khan passed away at young age. But Big B says he really wanted to do the role of ‘Gabbar Singh’, the notorious dacoit and the ‘villain’. Finally he got the role! I dont really beleive that a remakes are a hit in the public, but they do recover costs for the producers and distributors, because the public awaits the remake blissfully. Specially after knowing that the same actor is again acting in the feature film.

For example DON (another megahit by Big B), is also being made. The star in action here is SRK. But personally I again doubt its gonna be a hit, because you cant compare anything to the original. And the unique Big B style. Big B was charismatic in his time and still carries the same aura with him today. He might have seen ups and downs, but luck still seems to love this gentleman.

I was watching his Sharaabi movie today. Theres no match, simply. I have not seen any other natural actor as him. In fact I think that the actors today are no where in front of the old ones! Yet with time, people’s expectations change and they need for spice. No wonder Bollywood is one of India’s largest growing industries, be it financially or in underworld links!
