Ajay,
Thanks. I thought the Hindi Shiva was just a dubbed version. Even the actors (other than Paresh Rawal) are same right?
And, yes. James was a remake of Shiva(1989) and Shiva(2006) was a remake of James. RGV was not satisfied with the first remake and made another.

James (2005): RGV should probably not remake (read make) any film. Remake of Shiva (1989), the film starring Mohit Ahlawat and Nisha Kothari was a mega disappointment.
