One of the iconic films of Indian cinema, Sholay completed 46 years of its release on Independence Day, August 15. Forty-six years back, director Ramesh Sippy gave Hindi cinema the best friendship - Jai and Veeru, the best villain - Gabbar Singh, best dialogues - ‘ye haath mujhe de de thakur’. Overall, the filmmaker gave us the best film ever. Fans still use their dialogues and use Jai-Veeru’s friendship as examples. After the film achieved this milestone, Ramesh dropped a BTS picture where we see the cast - Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini and Dharmendra posing for the photo.
Sharing the picture on Twitter, Sippy wrote, “#Sholay completes 46 years today.

Congratulating @SrBachchan, @aapkadharam, @dreamgirlhema, #JayaBachchan, @Javedakhtarjadu, #JagdeepJi, #SanjeevKumar, #AmjadKhan” Replying to his tweet, Dharmendra who essayed the role of Veeru said he was ‘the only bad actor amongst the talented team of great artists’. According to him, the film was a picnic for him and enjoyed in Dharam way.
