The Delhi High Court has allowed Ram Gopal Varma, to release his version of yesteryear's blockbuster 'Sholay', by changing the title of the film from 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Sholay' to 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag'.

The Court gave a go ahead for the release of the much publicized film after Varma filed an affidavit giving an undertaking that he would not use the title 'Sholay' and the name of the popular characters like 'Gabbar Singh' and 'Basanti'.

The roadblocks for the release of the film in which superstar Amitabh Bachchan has assumed the role of 'Gabbar' had come on a lawsuit filed by grandson of G P Sippy, who had produced Sholay.

The popular characters like 'Gabbar' and 'Basanti' will now have to be renamed as 'Babban' and 'Ghungroo'.

However, the court allowed gave liberty to Sippy Films Pvt Ltd and Sholay Media and Entertainment Pvt Ltd, owned by Sascha Sippy and Shan Uttam Singh, to push for its remaining claims, if any, after watching the film`s remake.
