It
is said that Ram Gopal Verma too approached
Saif for the legendary Veeru role in the
remake of Sholay. The actor has refused
this offer too. Abhisek and Aishwarya
are the actors who have been confirmed
for Mani’s project. When asked about
dropping out on Manirathnam’s movie,
the actor replied, "The dates for
Mani’s movie were the problem. I
would have loved to work with Mani. He
is after all…Mani!"
