Ah, Bollywood! Where the drama never stops and the stories just keep getting juicier. Today, we dive into the mind of Ram Gopal Varma, the man who dared to touch the untouchable—Sholay! But before we proceed, remember, this is your Khabree Kiran on duty, sprinkling some masala on your screen! 🎥✨
So, Ram Gopal Varma, the maverick director of Bollywood, known for his hits like Rangeela and Satya, once again opened the treasure chest of Bollywood memories. The man who gave us the not-so-loved RGV Ki Aag (yes, the infamous Sholay remake), had another Sholay-related tale up his sleeve. This time, it involved a sequel that never saw the light of the projector!
Hold your horses, dosto! 🐎 Sascha Sippy, nephew of the legendary Ramesh Sippy, had a zany idea. Picture this: Gabbar Singh and Helen’s character from the iconic Mehbooba Mehbooba song, getting all cozy, and boom—say hello to Junior Gabbar! 😲 Sascha even envisioned Jackie Chan making an appearance. Now, isn’t that a full-on Bollywood-Chinese tadka?
Sascha Sippy’s Sholay Sequel with Jackie Chan?
During a chat with Galatta India, RGV spilled the beans on this wild sequel idea pitched by Sascha. According to him, this storyline was all about what happens after the Mehbooba Mehbooba dance. Gabbar and Helen have a kid, Junior Gabbar, who’s all set to make his mark. Meanwhile, our beloved Veeru and Basanti have two grown-up kiddos of their own. Imagine the family drama, folks! Basanti and Veeru get kidnapped, and the new generation steps up to the plate. Bollywood ka full-on family reunion, hai na?
And, drumroll please, enter Jackie Chan! Sascha believed, and I quote, “Jackie Chan is the biggest brand in China, Hong Kong. Sholay is India’s biggest brand.” So why not merge the two? RGV, though, wasn’t too thrilled and politely gave this idea a thumbs down. Maybe some stories are best left untouched, like a perfectly brewed cup of chai. ☕💭
Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, every star has a story, but not every story becomes a blockbuster. Sometimes, it’s better to let the classics remain classics. Aur kya pata, Junior Gabbar might just have had a TikTok career instead! 😂
