THE teaser and trailer of Gabbar Is Back might bring back the memories of the 1975 hit Sholay with Akshay Kumar mouthing the popular dialogues of Gabbar Singh. But, the actor says that the film is not the sequel of Sholay, and Gabbar is not the villain but the hero in this movie.
“This Gabbar is different … that Gabbar was the villain and this Gabbar is the hero. This film has nothing to do with that film, this film is not Sholay 2. Both the characters are different,” Akshay told reporters during the trailer launch of Gabbar Is Back.
Directed by famous southern director Krish and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Gabbar Is Back features Akshay Kumar and Shruti Haasan, and is slated to release on May 1.
