Ramesh Sippy, legendary filmmaker, attended special screening of his 1975 blockbuster Sholay at Jaipur’s iconic Raj Mandir Cinema.
Ramesh Sippy, who directed Sholay from Salim-Javed script, said it was great to see the 50 years of his film coincide with the silver jubilee celebrations of IIFA Awards which kickstarted on Saturday.
Adding that the 25 years of IIFA are as important today as the 50 years of Sholay. Together they had a wonderful start last night and it will continue not just tonight but on and on.
The screening of the film also commemorates Raj Mandir’s five-decade journey.
Sholay, hailed as one of the greatest Hindi films of all time, featured Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, and Jaya Bachchan.
Produced by Sippy’s father, late producer
GP Sippy, the movie released on August 15, 1975.
Director Sooraj Barjatya, who also attended the screening of Sholay in Jaipur, fondly remembered watching the film as a child back in 1975.
