The “Sholay” remake is called “Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag” as Sasha Sippy, the grandson of G.P. Sippy who produced the 1970s hit, had problems with Varma releasing his film with the word ‘Sholay’ in its title.
Sushmita is all praise for her co-star Prashant Raj. “He’s very good. In his very first film he has to stand next to stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Mohanlal and Ajay Devgan. That isn’t easy.”
Tell her she has a head-start of at least seven years over Prashant, and Sushmita laughs, “Trust me he looks really nice with me.”
However, she has no scenes with Amitabh Bachchan who plays dacoit Babban Singh in the film.
“Not this time. But we had lots of scenes together in two films we did earlier – ‘Hindustan Ki Kasam’ and ‘Aankhen’. In ‘Sholay’ we don’t come face to face at all.”
