Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s blockbuster film ‘Sholay’ has taken the box office by storm. You must have heard many stories about this film by now, such as Dharmendra using a real gun in one scene.

But did you know that many scenes from this film were deleted. One of these scenes has now surfaced after years.

The 1975 blockbuster film Sholay is considered one of the evergreen films in Hindi cinema. Even today, people love to watch this film. Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan’s pair was very much liked in this film. People liked the story of the film so much that they went crazy. Before the film was released, the censor board had cut many scenes from it. One of the cut scenes is currently going viral. (Dharmendra or Amitabh, who took the most money in Sholay? One got only 15000)

Every dialogue of Sholay is an example. But there is a dialogue in the film, if a child cries from fifty kilometers away, the mother says go to sleep or Gabbar will come. I liked this dialogue a lot. Many dialogues and scenes were cut due to the fear of Gabbar, i.e. Amjad Khan’s character in the film. Those scenes were not shown in the film. The censor board had cut them. Now one such scene is going viral, in which the ruthless form of Gabbar Singh is clearly visible.

A photo from the film Sholay has been shared on the Instagram handle called Old Is Gold. This photo is going viral. Amjad Khan is seen standing in the photo. And Sachin Pilgaonkar is seen lying on the ground nearby. Sachin played the role of Ahmed in this film. In the photo, Gabbar is pulling Sachin up by the hair. A convoy of bandits is seen around. This scene has been cut from the film.

According to the Instagram handle on which this photo was shared, this scene was cut by the censor board from Sholay, released in 1975. Because this scene had extreme violence and Gabbar looked brutal. This scene was cut due to the violence. Even today, Sholay is one of the favorite films of people.
