Trust Bollywood to come up with a shocking incident week after week, day after day. And when it is the house of RGV movies that at any point of time has at least a dozen movies in various stages of production, then shocks and surprises are just a part of the business.

The latest news that has come to light is Abhishek Bachchan opting out of RGV's take on 'Sholay'. Reason behind this is cited to be Chota B's commitment to Mani Ratnam for their first English film, due to which he is not able to adjust his date diary for RGV.

There was widespread excitement about watching the father-son pair pitted opposite each other as Gabbar and Veeru, but it appears that this may not become a reality after all. One just hopes that the date hassles are sorted out and the original starcast is retained for all the action.

Official comments from RGV, Abhishek Bachchan and Mani Ratnam are still awaited! Stay tuned!
