Renowned director Ramesh Sippy shares with `KBC 13` host Amitabh Bachchan as to why he chose Hema Malini as `Basanti` and how did he think about `Jai-Veeru`. Sippy appeared as a special guest along with Hema Malini on `Kaun Banega Crorepati 13`s `Shaandaar Shukravaar` episode. Both talked about the iconic blockbuster `Sholay` as the movie celebrates 46 years of its release.
Replying to Amitabh, Ramesh Sippy shared: "See, Hema ji in her first film with me had portrayed the role of a young widow and in the second film, `Seeta aur Geeta`, she surprised us. So, for the role of `Basanti` I felt that no one can do it apart from her. Also, there was one more thing. When we completed `Seeta aur Geeta` and it became successful, it is then when we decided whatever I make after this, Dharam ji, Hema ji and Sanjeev ji must be there. And as the script of `Sholay` was shaping up, it was fitting perfectly."
