45 years of Sholay: Ramesh Sippy revisits the making of the phenomenon

Sholay, a cult classic about revenge and redemption, was initially set to have its key characters of Jai-Veeru and Thakur from Army background and a different ending, says director Ramesh Sippy, who never imagined the phenomenon his film would become upon its release 45 years ago. After making “Andaz” and “Seeta Aur Geeta”, Sippy wanted to switch to action genre and make a film similar to Hollywood Westerns.
