 Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag has been panned by critics and audiences, but the maverick filmmaker insists that his aim was to pay homage to Ramesh Sippy’s classic Sholay and not to outdo it.“I was not trying to outdo Sholay. I was doing a homage to Sholay. And it would be foolish of me to think I can better the original,” he asserts.
Varma said he wasn’t extremely disappointed that the film’s title and names of characters had to be changed because he “never intended to remake Sholay exactly the way it was”. He added that he would have avoided calling it Sholay right in the beginning if he had known it would lead to so many legal hassles. Varma also said that Ramesh Sippy was his inspiration to become a filmmaker in the first place. “I owe my bread and butter and whatever I am today to Mr Ramesh Sippy. If he didn’t make Sholay I’d have never become interested in filmmaking. I’d have remained a civil engineer.”
