Amitabh Bachchan, R Madhavan, Sonu Sood: Actors who starred in the original and the remake of the same film | The Times of India

Amitabh Bachchan’s character ‘Jai’ from ‘Sholay’ and his performance had received wide appreciation and is remembered today. The film also starred Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Amjad Khan and others in key roles.

The megastar was also a part of Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sholay’ remake ‘Aag’ where he essayed the role of the anti-hero ‘Gabbar’. However, the film failed to impress the audience like the original and it bombed at the box office.
