MUMBAI: Despite being surrounded with controversies, Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay is constantly in the limelight. The latest on that front is that Sushmita Sen will play the role of Radha that was palyed by Jaya Bhaduri in the original Sholay.

This role was earlier offered to Katrina Kaif but she opted out.

Sushmita Sen’s business manager Krishna says, “Ram Gopal Varma had contacted Sushmita Sen and narrated her story. Since the role is not similar to that of the original Sholay and is performance oriented, Sush has decided to do the role. We are just finalizing her shooting dates.”
