old and new stars in the 1975-Bollywood blockbuster Sholay and Ram Gopal Varma's adaption of the classic.

-While Amjad Khan played big baddie Gabbar Singh in the old version, none other than Amitabh Bachchan plays the new-age villain in the new

Sholay.

-In place of Amitach Bachchan is newcomer Prashant Raj who plays the small-time crook, good-at-heart Jai.

-Ajay Devgan takes on the role of Dharmendra, essaying the character of the flirtatous Veeru.

-Sushmita Sen as Durga, slips into the character of the quiet widow Radha that Jaya Bachchan immortalised.

-RGV's new take on Sholay turns the gaon ki gori Basanti, played by Hema Malini, into a Mumbaiya tapori called Ghungroo played by Nisha Kothari.

-Playing Sanjeev Kumar's role as the hardened Thakur, the cop-turned-man-on-a-mission out to get Gabbar, is southern star Mohanlal.

-Remember Gabbar Singh saying "Arre o Sambha!" Mac Mohan takes on the role of the main villain's side-kick Sambha as Sushant Singh in the

new Sholay.

-Jajdeep made Soorma Bhopali a household name in the old Sholay. Now, meet Rajpal Yadav playing Soorma in RGV's adaption of the classic.
