Ram Gopal Varma was under lot of criticism when he attempted to remake Ramesh Sippy's Sholay. He went ahead and made Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag with Amitabh Bachchan playing the role of 'Gabbar Singh'.
The film bombed at the box-office and Ramu learned the hard way that Sholay can never be re-created.
The film completes 35 years on August 15 and the director remembers the film by writing about it on his blog.
He writes, " On the eve of the 35th anniversary of Sholay, I ask myself this question. Why is it that Sholay doesn’t age? It just seems to stand still at the pause button of a cinematic era for the last 35 years without aging one bit and I won’t be surprised if it stays that way for still another 35 years if not another 70 years.
He continues , "People might talk about Mother India with respect but in their heart of hearts every cine goer of the country knows that it’s Sholay which is the actual mother of Indian Cinema in every which way."
