Ramanagara, is a well-developed town located 55 kms from Bangalore, famous for its silk market, and will always be remembered as the setting of Bollywood classic Sholay, which was shot there in the 1970s. Everyone who passes through Ramanagara, called Ramgarh in Sholay, learns this bit of filmi history. And now a new resort plans to capitalise on the city's fame. The Ramgarh Resort and Spa, which is being developed by the Anantara Hotels and Resorts under the name Amritara, is basing its entire theme around the cult-status of Sholay! The resort, located on 6.67 acres of land, will even have characters from the movie on the staff. For instance, Gabbar Singh (played by Amjad Khan in Sholay) will be a masseuse, and there will be a 'Gabbar's Den',it will attempt to deliver authentic food from "Thakur ki haveli" and beverages from "Gabbar ka adda". Another thing on offer will be animators re-creating scenes from the movie. The resort will also provide horse riding, rappelling, and assorted in-house games designed around Sholay. "And we are looking at getting a resort manager who looks like the host in the movie (Sanjeev Kumar)." (Source: rediff.com)
