A train pulls into the train station and two young men step off. It's their very first visit to the big city of Mumbai. Only, they are not here on a visit. They have arrived with dreams of buying Mumbai out!

For this is a pair of street toughs par excellence. Jai, the younger of the two looks up to Veeru for guidance. Veeru in turn looks out for him.

Virendra Chavan (Ajay Devgan) and Jai Ranade (Prashant Raj) grew up in Latur , where they came to be known to their town folk as Veeru and Jai.

From their early days, these young men admired success and strength and sought in every which way to emulate it.

Veeru went to work as a bodyguard for Sharad Patil, the local politician. But, when Patil got jailed for a crime, he lost his job.

It was then that an idea of coming to Mumbai took his fancy. As expected, his best friend, Jai tagged along.


Within a week of their arrival to Mumbai, they find a job with Shambhul Seth. He is a criminal with a heavy police record.

Meanwhile, in his search for Shambhul, Inspector Ranveer (Mohanlal) comes across Veeru and Jai and immediately concludes that these two are no hard criminals.

Both Veeru and Jai are shocked to learn about Shambhul's police record and they decide to help the inspector in catching this gangster.

So, as expected, our heroes manages to finish off Shambhul but in the process they had to be arrested because of their association with the gangster.

Much later, when the inspector needed help in his hunt for Gabbar Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), his brief impression of these two young men returned to him.

Since he could not expect the police to help in his quest for personal revenge, he decides to enlist the help of Veeru and Jai.

Ram Gopal Verma's version will be different from the all time box office masala western.

Whilst the basic storyline will remain the same, the whole era of the film will be transported to the 21st century.

Gabbar Singh will be showcased as an international criminal. Susmita Sen will play the character of Radha, the widow whilst Urmila Matondkar will dance to the popular dance number Mehbooba Mehbooba in this remake.
