Ram Gopal Varma's SHOLAY has been in the eye of the storm right from the very onset. It has been hogging news space ever since it went on floors. Apparently quite a few have expressed displeasure over remaking the cult film. "You can't stop anyone from anything. Why should you not remake a film? Everyone's doing it and I don't understand the logic behind 'not' remaking films," opines Sushant Singh who plays Samba in RGV's version of SHOLAY.

"It's much bigger and better than the original Samba," is all Varma's Samba is ready to reveal.

"Even I am an ardent SHOLAY fan. I think those who are against the film should not see it. It's as simple as that. It's silly to sit and pass judgments. In my opinion, there's nothing like 'right' or 'wrong'," intones Sushant.

Even the indefatigable Ram Gopal Varma seems unfazed by the flak he's received for remaking SHOLAY. "Ask Sushant Singh how happy he is to be playing Samba. In the earlier SHOLAY it was a three-scene role. Now Samba is crucial to Gabbar's plans," Ram Gopal Varma is quoted in an interview.

Sushant's forthcoming films include Mani Shankar's MUKHBIR, Mahesh Bhatt's SHOWBIZ, a film based on kickboxing tentatively titled LAHORE and a children's film.
