The cult classic Sholay was
released 39 years back in 1975, when Ramesh Sippy created the character
of Basanti with his favourite actress Hema Malini. Sippy, despite being a
blockbuster director, always chose to make different films throughout
his career, starting with Andaz, a mature love story to Seeta Aur Geeta,
a comedy, to Sholay, an action adventure, to Shaan being a slick action
film to Shakti being a drama around the story
of a father and a son, to Saagar being a romantic love story. We know
that after a hiatus, Ramesh Sippy will be directing once again and we have learnt that the film is titled Shimla Mirchi and stars Hema
Malini and Rajkummar Rao. While the actress opposite Rajkummar Rao
is still to be finalised, we do know that the film goes on the
floors in August and is a sweet, romantic story with its quirky
twists. While we will continue to report details of the film as we get them, for now, we can only say that we can't wait to see a
Ramesh Sippy film again.
