Ramgopal Varma has not only changed the title of his forthcoming film from 'Ramgopal Varma Ke Sholay' to 'Ramgopal Varma Ki Aag', but he has also given new names to the characters in his film, which is inspired by G.P.Sippy's 'Sholay'.

As may be recalled, some members of the Sippy family dragged Varma to court over copyright issues and rather than fight it out in court, Ramgopal Varma backed out mid-way and instead chose to change the titles and the names of his charecters.

Thus, 'Gabbar Singh' of the landmark 'Sholay' has been rechristened 'Babban' ; 'Basanti' will be 'Ghungroo' ; 'Sambha' will be 'Tambe' ; the name of 'Radha' will now be 'Durga' ; and instead of 'Thakur', the name will be 'Narasimhan'.
