I see that many people, like me, are unimpressed by the cast for RGV's Sholay 🤢... I still don't think this film should even be made... but unfortunately it is

So who would u choose to cast in the following roles:

Veeru-

Jai-

Gabbar-

Thakur-

Basanti-

Radha-

Please feel free to add any other characters plus any comments u have 😊

Here's my opinions:

Veeru- I think Veeru needs to be played by someone who can pull of a fun and flirty role. I cannot possibly understand why Ajay Devgan has been chosen!...I think Ajay Devgan would actually be better suited for the role of Jai 😕... i would prefer to see someone like Abhishek Bachan or Hrithik Roshan do this role

Jai- As I mentioned above, i think Ajay Devgan would be better suited to this role than to the role of Veeru... i could also see Abhishek do this role well (but i'm possibly biased due to his resemblence with big B)

Gabbar- Big B is obviously a legend... but i think Gabbar should be played by some1 a bit younger, more tagda and more jaandaar 😕... possibly Sanjay Dutt in his "Khal Nayak" type get-up

Thakur- I think Amitabh Bachchan would be more suited to this role... an important and respected character 😊

Basanti- Rumour has it that Esha is to be cast... she obviously has a resemblance to her mother, so this could work... but i think there are actresses who could do this role better, including- Rani or even Kareena

Radha- What on earth possessed RGV to cast Katrina Kaif in the pure, bholi widow's role???😕... i think actresses like Vidya Balan or Gracy Singh would be much more suited to this role

These are just my opinions... i hope they dont offend anyone 😕

I think Esha can pull off basanti. She shocked me in Ankahee and RGV Is a good director..so lets see.

i don't want Preity to be Basanti..yea i'm kinda being biased on that one..but still...i don't know why..i don't think she might be able to carry it off as much as Rani..and for Radha, i think Ash would be a good choice..Veer-umm..Hrithik..and then Jai..i would prefer Abhi also.
