Why &ldquo;Sholay is a film that has captured the hearts and minds of an entire nation for generations and when we met Sascha (Sippy), he understood the power that graphic novels have in conveying a unique visual form of storytelling.
The idea of creating original graphic novels based on Sholay was a perfect fit for our mission at Graphic India to help elevate and push the boundaries of comics and animation in India,&rdquo; says Sharad Devarajan, Co-founder and CEO of Graphic India, adding that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to imagine the secret histories of some of these iconic characters.

Devarajan shares that there are few characters in cinema that are simply known by millions with one single name, and in Bollywood, Gabbar, arguably tops the list. &ldquo;There has always been a fascination to understand what makes great villains become who they are, as much as there is in understanding about what makes great heroes. With Gabbar we get to ask the greatest question of all &mdash; is evil born or made?&rdquo; he questions.
