30 November 2006 | Movies, Actors | No Comments
It's over between Ram Gopal Verma and his so far blue-eyed boy Mohit Ahlawat. Mohit is out of Ramu's Sholay, he is no longer playing Amitabh Bachchan's, or Jai's, role in the film. In fact, it's unlikely that Ram Gopal Verma will ever work with his favourite protégé again. Mohit was one of the first actors to be cast in the new Sholay. In fact while the role of the other protagonist Veeru changed hands from Abhishek Bachchan to Ajay Devgan, Mohit as Jai remained steadfast in the cast. overnight, Ramu has decided that Mohit "no longer fits the role of Jai." Our source says there was a showdown on the sets on Tuesday night.
So what was the big fight about? Ramu tries to play it down. He says, "There was no showdown or any such thing. It was all done amicably. Basically Mohit is now out of Sholay. See, the decision to make Sholay was taken nearly two years back when I had no clear idea of how the project would develop. I only knew I wanted to adapt Sholay. But as Jai's character is now designed I feel Mohit won't fit the role. So we decided not to work together in Sholay right now. We may decide to work together again some other time as and when we find the right vehicle."
He makes light of the fight theory. "Fight with Mohit? That's a frightening thought. Seeing how well- built he is, Mohit would beat me up, he would win hands down," he says. "Seriously speaking, the decision about Mohit not being in Sholay was taken now only because I've been too busy shooting with Mr Bachchan and concentrating on Gabbar. Finally when I went back to Jai's role I found that Mohit no longer fitted the role." ….read more
