Ram Gopal Verma is having a tough time dealing with the belligerent media backlash about his take on Ramesh Sippy’s ‘Sholay’. Right from Gabbar’s weird look to change of names of the lead players, things are going awry for the maverick director. Recently IndiaGlitz reported that the song-n-dance specialist Nisha Kothari has been roped in to play Hema Malini’s Basanti. And her name will be Ghungroo and she wears a fancy (grotesque) outfit with a cap buckled in too.

 Now, the latest prop is something that for once is praiseworthy. And one needs to take note of it too. Ramu’s Basanti (Oops Ghungroo) won’t be riding a horse carriage instead she has a garish autorickshaw called Laila for company. The billboard on top of this garlanded, yellow-red coloured autorickshaw is ‘Bill Leke Dekho’ with two loudspeakers staring in opposite direction on the rooftop.

Finally, Ramu has something that’s worth-a-whistle in his controversy ridden film. For more on ‘Sholay’ stay tuned to IndiaGlitz.
