Amitabh Bachchan
It has always been great experience working with Ram Gopal Varma. I am glad he has invited me to be here in Hyderabad. We are not remaking any film here. It is just tribute to a timeless classic that is Sholay. One should the film as Ramu's interpretation of that classic," Amitabh said about the film.
"Regarding actors in the film, I should congratulate all of them � they are energetic and enthusiastic. They belong to new generation" he said.
"I love Hyderabad. The people are very affectionate and have been supporting my family."

Ram Gopal Varma
"When I was running a video shop, some one told me about Sholay. He said that when Dharmendra throws coin, the sound comes near at our legs. I wanted to see the film for that reason and went to Ramakrishna 70mm and after that I had seen 27 times. Sholay influenced me heavily. It shaped up my thinking process and created passion about films. So Aggi is my tribute to that film. I am just taking the idea and putting them nto a different period of time. It is not copy or remake of the film."

Ravinder Reddy of Money Tree Entertainment which is producing the Telugu dubbed version, Aggi, said they are forging a tie up with Ram Gopal Varma very soon.
