Look, the film is inspired by Sholay and it's not Sholay. When you see the film, you will realise that the character we are playing in the film are assembled in the perspective of today's time and social scenario. Sholay was released in 1975, and it's been 32 years. RGV Ki Aag has everything that is contemporary.

My character has turned to Durga from Radha. She is a woman of today, whose life is not over; it's still going strong. She is a doctor.

Sholay can be given so many interpretations. I have seen this film so many times since the time I was a kid, that I think that there could be 50 lovely interpretation to this film. Different filmmakers can give it so many interpretations, as it's a lovely film.

You just mentioned that Durga and Radha are different people. But don't you think that the emotions remain the same for the two ladies?

Feelings and emotions depend on the nature of relationships and situations. In this case, the relationships are not identical. For example, Mohanlal plays my brother-in-law in the film, not my father-in-law. Even the equations vary in the film; we don't necessarily have to cover our head in front of him. If Durga covers her head, it will be out of her own choice. Durga even speaks to him and an approachable relationship.

The friendship between Jai and Veeru has been interpreted in a different way here.

To be very honest, the actors have given a different meaning to the situations, emotions and relationships. Amitabh Bachchan playing Gabbar Singh, now Babban Singh, is a completely different experience because in the original film, we saw Jai giving up his life for his friend. Here, I have never seen Amitji look so menacing.
