Everyone knew that the late G P Sippy’s magnum opus Sholay will release in its 3D avatar on 15 August 2012. However, it is learnt that the film’s release has been postponed due to unforeseen reasons. But, said a source, who is closely associated with the flick, “The changed date hasn’t been fixed yet. Earlier, the distributor and financer Jayantilal Gada was okay with the release of the 3D version at the same time as Salman Khan-starrer <em>Ek Tha Tiger</em> produced by YRF.”
