Big B as Basanti in yet another Sholay remake.
What most are not privy to is that after Aag’s failure, RGV has immediately announced another re-make of Sholay. He has done such remakes of remakes before. In this version, Big B will play Basanti (will be called Basmati and the remake will be called RGV’s Pagalpan). Big B present on that occasion said that during the making of the original Dharmendra’s Sholay (aka Amjad Khan’s or Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay) he used to run around the sets in Basanti’s Ghagra-Choli and Capri style underpants. He has always longed to play Basanti, but no one recognized his anguish till one day while RGV was looking deep into his eyes, he saw glimpses of Basanti in him.
Here are some dialogues from RGV’s Pagalpan
Big B (Basmati) : Ha Babu, Bolo Kahan Jaaoge ? Aaage Ya Peeche ? Aaage Ka Doh Rupiya Aur Peeche Ka Ek Rupiya. Abh Poocho Kyon ? Poocho Poocho, Aaage Ka Doh ? Aur Peeche Ka Ek Kyon ? Bhai Agar Peeche Gaye Toh Sirf Peeche Gaye, Aur Agar Aaage Gaye Toh Phir Oopar and Neeche Dono Gaye. Youn Ki Dekhnewali Baath Ye Hai …..
Oh yes, I forgot this version of Sholay is based in a red light district of Bombay, and Basmati (i.e. Big B) is a street walker in it (imagine the opportunity for a weird get-up). When asked to confirm, Big B said he has no problem eroding his legacy, after all, he said, it is not as if he earned it. He added that he will work for anyone who will give him the bus fare and the lunch money. In fact he will work for free if they also took Lil C in the movie. Additionally he stated that if they gave Lil C a big role, then he will after the shoot come over and clean the dishes also.
