Earlier there were reports that the 3D version of
1975 Bollywood classic Sholay will release on August 15, but the Bollywood Gossips says
that the film will now release on October 11 which coincides on Amitabh
Bachchan’s 71st birthday.
The movie, famous for the bond between characters
Jai and Veeru, essayed by screen icons Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, is
still viewed as one of the best movies ever. The 1975 hit was directed by
Ramesh Sippy, which also featured Hema Malini, who played Basanti and Amjad
Khan, who essayed the role of villain Gabbar Singh.
According to a source, “The date was specifically
chosen as it coincides with Bachchan’s big day. He is the biggest star we have
today and what better day to release the film.”
