Who would have played Jai, Veeru, and Gabbar if ‘Sholay’ had a Hollywood version? It seems, AI has the perfect answer to this. Who can forget the iconic dialogues ‘Kalia, Kitne Aadmi The?’, ‘Basanti Inn Kutton Ke Samne Mat Nachna’, ‘Ghadi Ghadi Drama Karta Hai’ and many more from the iconic evergreen feature film ‘Sholay’?
The Ramesh Sippy-directorial film, written by the popular Salim-Javed duo, is one of the greatest and most influential Indian films of all time. Every song, scene, action, dialogue, and sequence from the movie is deeply etched in the hearts and minds of movie lovers.
Every character of the film like Jai-Veeru, Gabbar, Thakur, Jailor, and Sambha became more popular with time. Even though the film was released way back in 1975, it is still popular among movie lovers. The iconic dialogues and scenes from the movie top the chart when it comes to making memes and spoofs.
Meanwhile, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) artist tried to reimagine Sholay in Hollywood style and the result is just amazing. The AI artist tried to replace Sholay characters with Hollywood actors and it has become as popular as the original film.
Sharing the video, the AI user wrote, “What if Sholay was made in Hollywood?” The hilarious videos show Robert De Niro as Jai (originally played by megastar Amitabh Bachchan), AL Pacino as Veeru (Dharmendra), Julia Roberts as Basanti (Hema Malini), Anthony Hopkins as Gabbar Singh, Kevin Spacey as Thakur Baldev Singh.
