As Sholay, the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema celebrates its Golden Jubilee, Abhishek Bachchan shared with IANS that he wishes to watch the iconic film on a 70 mm screen at the iconic Minerva theatre. The film features his father Amitabh Bachchan and mother Jaya Bachchan in the lead.  

When asked during an interview “Sholay will soon be completing 50 years. Have there been any conversations at the family dining table about the film? If so, which story or memory from Sholay tends to come up most often?” Abhishek replied “Not really spoken about it, but have discussed it with friends. My biggest tragedy is that I have never seen Sholay on 70 mm.”

He continued, "I keep telling my friend Rohan (Rohan Sippy)—we’ve done three films together, and our fathers made Sholay together—Please remaster it and we will go and watch it in Minerva. I really hope they re-release it so that we can experience it again in all its glory.”
