Actor-director Sachin Pilgaonkar reminisces about working on the iconic film Sholay as an assistant director. He reveals that Ramesh Sippy only directed scenes with main stars, while a second unit handled action sequences.

He humorously recalled feeling like one of the "useless" crew members alongside Amjad Khan, who later played the iconic villain, Gabbar Singh.

It has come to light that Ramesh Sippy wasn’t the sole director of Sholay, the iconic film's most pivotal scenes were crafted around the performances of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Sanjeev Kumar.

Director Ramesh Sippy's 1975 film Sholay became a cultural phenomenon. With its star-studded cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bachchan, and Amjad Khan, the action-adventure blockbuster continues to mesmerise audiences even 49 years after its release.
