I Wanted To Play Sippys Gabbar, says Big B

'Amjad Khan and I struck a good friendship during 'Sholay'. In fact, I wanted to play the role of Gabbar Singh and I told this to Ramesh Sippy (producer-director of the original Sholay),' said Amitabh Bachchan, the New-Gabbar-On-The-Block, at a five star hotel as his unusual look was unveiled at an event in a five star hotel in Mumbai on Saturday 7th October. Big B is enacting the character of legendry villain Gabbar Singh and 'Ram Gopal Verma Ke Sholay' is said to be one of the biggest remakes of Hindi cinema. Directed by Ram Gopal Verma, the film is backed by Adlabs Films Limited.

In the grand event to unveil the look, Mr. Bachchan walked in a black coat wearing dark pink shades. He said, 'These dark shades are not the look of Gabbar. Whenever I start shooting with Ramu, I get an eye infection and which is why these dark shades.'

'Adlabs has a long standing association with Ramu. This is one of our forthcoming films. Only Ramu could have thought of casting the super hero in a super villain role. I would have thought the look would have been suited booted villain of today's time but only Ramu could have thought of this look,' Said Mr. Manmohan Shetty of Adlabs.

'30 years ago When the original Sholay was being shot Gabbar Singh was the villian, but today I think he is seen as a hero and who else but the superstar of our time to play this character. Lots of effort has been put to get this look for Mr. Bachchan,' said Ramgopal Verma.

Amitabh Bachchan in his characteristic style narrating his conversation with Ramesh Sippy (the director of the original) continued, 'Ramesh Ji told me no you will have another role in 'Sholay' and not Gabbar. It is nice that today at 64 I am getting to play Gabbar. We have started the shooting and at the end of the day I feel exhausted because playing Gabbar is not easy. I am overwhelmed and embarrased that Adlabs and Ramu decided to unveil this new look in such a grandeur fashion.'
