Who says Jaya Bachchan is in Sarkar Raj?

Who says Jaya Bachchan is in Sarkar Raj?

Needless to say, Sarkar Raj is in news for many things. Prominently because Sarkar Raj is the sequel to Sarkar, which was RGV's highly appreciated film and regarded as a major hit. And secondly because it is Abhi-Ash's first film, post their marriage. But clearly for some, fishing for news never ends.

A movie portal has reported that Jaya Bachchan is doing a special appearance in Sarkar Raj. However, there is no truth to the story. Says a source close to RGV, "The reporter spoke with Ram Gopal Varma to check if Jaya Bachchan stars in the film and even though he denied it, the writer went on to text Amitabh Bachchan saying that RGV had confirmed Jaya's presence in the film."

Such kind of irresponsible reporting has surely got Ramu fumed. "What kind of reporting is this? There's no Jaya in Sarkar Raj and I said so to the reporter," says an irritated Ram Gopal Varma.

It seems like the reporters know more than even the director of the film as they predict and make such statements. Though again, they carefully don't confirm the news completely by giving proof. So much for "exclusivity".

This is why I give Malaika and Arbaaz Khan props for what they did with their ponds commercial/ divorce rumor. It's about time someone did something.
