Ram Gopal Ka Veeru Ban Gaya Heeru
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,July 23 2007]
Court's axe has not just fallen on the title of Ram Gopal Varma's tribute to SHOLAY that has now been renamed as RAM GOPAL VARMA KI AAG. The latest casualty is now the character played by Ajay which has been changed from Veeru to Heeru!
While Gabbar becoming Babban has made many raise an eyebrow already, the emergence of Heeru only takes the debate further on the naming controversy. One wonders if all hullabaloo is actually worth it because ever since the film was announced, it has been mired with controversies.
First it was the entire remaking of the film that caused fiery reactions from people within and outside the industry. Later the much used and abused word 'inspiration' came into picture. When the court proceedings started, newer arguments emerged. Now to stay away from trouble, the film is plain and simple being called as a tribute to the 70s classic.
All said and done, what the film has succeeded in is to be in news and make sure that audience checks out the film at least once due to the sheer curiosity factor.
