The legend of Amjad Khan is all set to live on. Even though the actor left for heavenly abode more than two decades ago, his work is still remembered, most notably the part of 'Gabbar' that he played in Sholay. Now when the film's 3D version is being readied for release, the makers are looking at paying homage to the actor.
"In order to do that, they are inviting his elder son Shadaab Khan to be a part of the film's promotional activities," informs a source, "More than a marketing peg, it is an emotional chord that they are looking at striking with the audience. While Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, the original 'Jai' and 'Veeru' are around, there was no way they could have missed out 'Gabbar'."
For the uninitiated, Shadaab Khan isn't new to the tinsel world and was in fact the lead opposite Rani Mukherji in her debut film.
