Akshay says the film has no other connection to the classic Dharmendra-Amitabh caper
Akshay Kumar
While his character is named after the iconic villain from Sholay, Gabbar Is Back’s leading man Akshay Kumar says the film has no other connection to the classic Dharmendra-Amitabh Bachchan caper.
“We have just two-three dialogues from Sholay, otherwise GIB has nothing to do with Sholay. The film begins with my character writing an anonymous letter to the (police) commissioner, about corruption. I can’t sign my real name, and Sholay happens to be playing in the background, so I sign it as Gabbar,”
Akshay told us. About the South film Ramanaa of which GIB is a remake, Akshay says, “Our film is 60 per cent like Ramanaa but we have added a lot of real incidents. I was told not to watch Ramanaa and I prefer it that way. I don’t want to copy any actor.”
