RGV continues to shock his audiences with the way his Ram Gopal Varma Ki Sholay's cast is shaping up. First Mohit Ahlawat becomes Jai and now the original Jai becomes Gabbar.

The news is that Amitabh Bachchan is onboard the film and will be playing Gabbar's role. The filmmaker is very excited about this development and says, “ The ultimate hero is playing the ultimate villain.” RGV adds that to him the hero of the movie has always been Gabbar Singh, after the film released it was this character that became legendary, it was his lines that people remembered.

The director aims to bring out various facets of the dacoit in a revamped way and for that he thinks there is no better actor Big B himself.

James becomes Jai!
