Bollywood’s all-time favourite and blockbuster film ‘Sholay’ is all set to come again on big screen in with a twist of latest technology.

The classic Amitabh Bachchan-Dharmendra starrer is reported to be back in cinema houses in 3D format this Independence Day.

Buzz is that the new version of ‘Sholay’ has been planned to be released on 15th August 2012, the same week when Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ releases, that is, on 13th August.

However, some sources say that the makers of the new 3D ‘Sholay’ were bit apprehensive to release at the said date, owing to the competition set by Salman Khan’s action movie, because the film’s trailer has already become a huge hit.And so they are planning to push the release date to some other day.

But on the other hand, distributor and financer Jayantilal Gada rubbished the postponing idea and stated that they are not concern about releasing 3D ‘Sholay’ in the same week of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ release and since it’s such a popular classic movie that audience will surely come to watch it.

He added to say that as a matter of fact, 3D ‘Sholay’ is not ready with its sound and the movie’s team is working towards it at present.

Hmmm, but going by the powerful and successful tag which Salman Khan movies carry these days, some are really doubtful about 3D ‘Sholay’ running alongside with ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ same week. Let’s see what happens at the Box Office then and wait to see who is the winner Gabbar Singh ya Tiger.
