Sholay wont go 3D

The famous movie Sholay was all set to be remade in 3D and it was reported that Ketan Mehta's Maya Digital, was given the project by Mukhta Arts for making this project reality. But the latest news is that the team has dropped the project due to the family fights in Sippy family.

This is the second project from the Sippys that has run into rough weather owing to the problems in their family. Earlier, producer GP Sippy's son Suresh raised an objection against GP Sippy's grandsons Sascha and Shaan, claiming that they had no right to license the remake rights of Seeta Aur Geeta to Sunil Bohra (Mumbai Mirror, February 7, 2011).

Suresh has raised an objection this time around as well. While Sascha Sippy remained unavailable for comment, Suresh Sippy told Mumbai Mirror, "How can Ghai convert Sholay into 3D when we Sippys are in a legal conflict? My lawyer spoke to Ghai and told him about the same. And well, I don't know anything about Maya Digital's plans. Negative kahan hai unke paas? Yes, Sascha has the rights of Sholay but I also sent a message across to Sascha not to entertain any such proposals."

But it is reported from close sources of Ramesh Sippy, who had originally produced the movie, that he is keen on the project and has no problems with rights. But the project seems to be already dropped, when Subhash Ghai, the head honcho of Mukhta Arts, was asked about the project he replied "I am not associated with Sholay getting converted into 3D. I am just a stakeholder in Maya Digital. As far as I am concerned, the matter ended some six months ago."

However, Maya Digital's head, Ketan Mehta refused to comment on it and his wife mentioned that they did have another 10 projects working at the moment and she cannot comment on it as there is a Non-Disclosure agreement with the clients.
