Ram Gopal Verma's has changed the casting of upcoming film 'Sholay'. Ajay Devgan is getting into Saif's role as Veeru. "I want to start the film in March 2006 and Saif is busy with his shows abroad next year. We both sat down and discussed the whole date issue and he understands that I am very keen to start the film at the earliest as planned earlier. I wanted to cast Ajay as I share a great rapport with him and he had worked with me earlier on too in Bhoot and Company. I am in tune with his performing style," he explains.
