He wrote on his blog: “The SHOLAY ticket… kept and preserved, just defeated whatever has been expressed a few lines above…Rs 20 !! the price…!!!!!??” The legendary actor was taken aback to realize that this amount now equals the cost of an “aerated drink” in theatres today. “I am told that is the price of an aerated drink in Theatre Halls nowadays…is that a fact ?? So much to say, but say not… affection and love,” he wrote.
Sholay, an iconic action-adventure film directed by Ramesh Sippy, revolves around two criminals, Veeru and Jai, who are hired by a retired police officer to capture the dreaded dacoit Gabbar Singh.
The megastar also reflected on the mysterious power of late-night hours for creativity and introspection, noting that in the blend of noise and solitude, the mind often reaches its sharpest clarity.

He added, “Excess is a cess that is desired to be seized, else it absorbs the activities of mind and body and the senses…disposed utilities has been a leaning for some .. storing of utilities has been the learning from some…which some to be accepted and executed is the excess that cesses the mind and and body…and the regret in the other is the pain of not doing the ‘do’…”
