Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has revealed that he was supposed to star in the 1975 film 'Sholay' along with Dharmendra, who had played the character 'Veeru' in the film. "But God and Ramesh Sippy had other plans," he added jokingly. Shatrughan further said both Dharmendra and his wife Hema Malini, who also starred in 'Sholay', are his "dear friends".
