It's Ramu's Sarkar Raj
By: Subhash K Jha
July 3, 2007

All about the name: Abhishek, Aishwarya and Amitabh

The title is out. The sequel to Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar which brings together the Bachchans — Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya , will be titled Sarkar Raj.

"That's the name I thought of when I decided to do the sequel," reveals Ramu. "Somehow, Sarkar 2 or Sarkar Again seems off the mark.

Sarkar Raj is apt because I feel it defines the political intrigue in a family like the Corleones in The Godfather or the Nagare family in Sarkar. Like the first part, the ssequence of the Sarkar saga will be a family film. It was never meant to be an underworld film."

Fresh look

Apart from the Bachchans, Sarkar Raj will feature mostly not so known faces.

"I've taken lots of stage and theatre actors because I want the film to look fresh and very different from the earlier part."

The director is working with Aishwarya for the first time. "We've worked hard on the look.

The charm of Aishwarya in Sarkar Raj will be that she won't be glamorous. She's so intrinsically beautiful it will be a challenge to make her look simple. But I want her to look like nothing she has done so far."

As for the Big B, "Mr Bachchan and I have discussed many projects. Nishabd , Sholay and Sarkar 2 are our three films together this year. We've discussed at

least a dozen ideas. If I had my way, I'd have Mr Bachchan in all my films."
Refuting the thought that the senior Bachchan would have less to do in the Sarkar sequel Ramu says, "Though Abhishek takes over the empire he would still be looking at the senior Bachchan for guidance."
