See who's filling Big B's shoes

Bollywood filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who recently dropped Mohit Ahlawat from his film "Sholay", has roped in ramp model Prashant Raj to play Jai, the role made famous by Amitabh Bachchan in the original.

Mohit was one of the first actors to be cast for the remake of "Sholay", Varma now feels he doesn't suit the role.

Prashant was a regular visitor at Varma's production company and the director accidentally discovered the hidden potential of the wannabe actor. He cast Prashant in the role without wasting any time.

oh... But whats the reason behind it...
