The makers of Sholay 3D are planning a lavish premiere that will see the original cast reunite after 38 years. Producer Jayantilal Gada and the Sippy brothers will invite the film’s original cast as well as scriptwriter duo Salim-Javed to the do, which will most likely take place in October.
“We will surely have a mega celebration. The industry has already extended support. We will celebrate with the entire film fraternity in October to mark the return of the greatest film ever made,” said Gada.
August 15 was initially locked as the release date for the 3D version, to coincide with the release of the original. But with several big-ticket movies releasing that day, it was postponed to September 13 to commemorate the producer, G.P. Sippy’s birthday. Technical glitches have now forced the release to October.
The makers are now planning to book a suburban multiplex for the event that will see Bollywood legends together after a long gap.
