Ram Gopal Varma

Ram Gopal Varma, who was dragged to court by G. P. Sippy's grandson Sasha Sippy for using the title 'Sholay' in his forthcoming film, has been instructed to change not only the title of his film, but the names of the characters as well.

Varma changed the film's name, which is the re-make of Ramesh Sippy's classic – 'Sholay' to 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag'. At the case's hearing, Varma's lawyer informed the court that the director had decided to rename his film to 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag', which was approved by the court.

'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag' stars Amitabh Bachchan as Baban Singh (Gabbar Singh was played by Amjad Khan in original), Ajay Devgan as Virendra Chavan (Veeru was played by Dharmendra in original), Prashant Raj Sachdev as Jai Ranade (Jai was played by Amitabh Bachchan in original), Nisha Kothari as Ghungroo (Basanti was played by Hema Malini in original) and Sushmita Sen as Devi (Radha was played by Jaya Bhaduri in original). The film will be releasing in August.
