Director Ram Gopal Varma is remaking Ramesh Sippy's 1975 all-time blockbuster \"SHOLAY\" and he's going to start without delay.
Amitabh to play the prime role of Gabbar originally performed brilliantly by Amjad Khan.
Abhishek as Veeru (Dharmendra)
Mohit Ahlawat aka James to play Jai (Amitabh)
The following were some interesting suggestions from one bollywood buff:
1. Thakur - Amitabh Bachchan would make excellent Thakur(2nd choice - Nana Patekar).
Mohan Lal has hindi language problem and it was much evident in Company where
he was safe as he was playing south Indian IPS officer but here Thakur is typical
Hindi belt land lord and police officer.
2. Jai - Abhishek Bachchan is the best bet for the role of Jai. In Sarkar he has proven his
ability to express through his eyes and from his silence and these 2 ingredients are
must to play the role of Jai( especially after Amitabh essayed ther ole so perfectly
in the original). Only Abhishek can express Jai's silent love towards Radha ( Role
played by Jaya Bhaduri in original). He has mischivious traits also to handle
Basanti's glibness. Abhishek has everything to play Jai and he will be better choice
for Jai than for Veeru.
3. Veeru - Veeru is really tough with present lot of actors. Aamir Khan can match the comedy skill of Dharmji and he can match his anger also but he does not fit in macho image of Dharamji. Bobby Deol(wht abt water tank scene), Akshaya Kumar and Saif ali khan( scenes after Jai is killed?). Hritik may be a good choice.
4.Gabbar - Sunny Deol, Irfan Khan, Manoj Bajpai, and Kamal Hasan should be considered. They can match skill of Late Amjad Khan and. Sunny Deol has anger, voice and body to match the demand of the role and his eyes are as expressive as of Abhishek's. Irfan and Manoj can give new turn to the role and perhaps Kamal can feel rejuvenated with the role of biggest villain of hindi cinema and gives his best ever performance.
5. Basanti - Urmila Martondkar, Isha Koppikar, Preiti Jinta, Priyanka Chopra should be given
chance for screen test as they can match glibness and beauty of Hema Malini in the
role of Basanti.
6. Radha - Rani Mukherjee, Esha Deol, Kareena kapoor, and Aishvarya Rai should be called for
screen test. Esha deol can be surprise actor as she can manage pre marital youhthfulness of Radha and later can essay serious look of widowhood also .
7. Jailor - Arshad Varsi should make different jailor than Asrani. He has potential to give
different turm to this comic role. Raghuvir Yadav , Paresh Rawal and Boman Irani
should also be considered.
8. Surma Bhopali - Rajpal Yadav and Johni Lever should fight for this role. If Om Puri become ready for this short role then he can give stunning performance. (remember his kakka ji kahin)
9. Maulvi - A.K Hangal had played this role beautifully. If Nasseruddin Shah, Nana Patekar and Anupam Kher become ready for this role then it will be again worth watching role.
10. Mausi - ( Leela Mishra in original). Surekha Sikri, Kiron kher,Farida Jalal, Pratima Kajmi
11. Son of maulvi- ( Sachin in original) - Shahid Kapur, Jimi Shergil
12. Barbar in Jail - ( Keshto Mukherjee in original) - Irfan( comedian)
13. Jalal Agha's role - Actor has to sing Mahbuba Mahbuba and any big actor can be ready for
this item number. Jacky Shroff or Anil Kapur can bring vitality to this song. Fardeen Khan can also be considered for this item no.
14. Helen's role - Its another item role and so many actresses will be ready to dance on
Mahbuba Mahbuba.
15. Thakur's servant - ( Satyen Kappu in original) , If Anupam Kher does not play Maulvi then he is good choice for this important role

As \\\"Jhamrukh Khan\\\" would have said...
\\\"I love you MMMMMMeghal...\\\" (kidding)
But jokes apart, I sincerely hope that both \\\"Sholay\\\" and \\\"Don\\\" in their new avtaars flop miserably.... I do not like to make such statements abt movies but these guys have dared to tamper with some of my all time fav movies.
SOme time back..The house of Rajshri's tried to tamper with Chitchor..(and made a crappy film called Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon)...I hoped that it would flop and it surely did...
Meghal you have forgotten a crucial part in Don...
\\\"Main ladkiyon se door rehta hoon, isiliye toh abhi tak zinda hoon\\\"
\\\"Yeh ladki junglee billi ki tarah tez aur furteeli hai..\\\"
....you need Salim to complement Javed without which DON was pretty much ordinary ! The dialogues....
\\\"Mujhe shor karne wale khilone pasand nahin hai\\\"... and many many more
Imagine Arjun Ramphal mouthing those dialogues intead of Pran...AR's voice is like a rat..squeaky !
May Ramu become bankrupt after making his version of Sholay... How dare he tamper with Gabbar Singh ! But there will be one wierd incident in this film...
Abhishek Bachchan beating the shit out of Amitabh aka Gabbar Singh...
(Mujhe apne Dost ki khoon ki kasam (Mujhe apne Mom ke atyachaar ki kasam... Amitabh cheating on Jaya by roamcing Rekha..even Now !)..ek ek ko chun chun ke maroonga)...
But yeah.... I hope both films flop miserably
