Ram Gopal Varma took a huge gamble by remaking one of Hindi cinema's best films, Sholay. He even attched his name to the venture. Unfortunately, it did not pay.

RGV's Sholay was called one of the worst films he had ever made.

Amitabh Bachchan, the only star from the original film to be a part of the new one, faced a lot of flak from viewers as well as Bollywood itself, for being part of the debacle.
