Aishwarya in Ramu's Sarkar sequel

Give
this
to
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
He
has
his
finger
on
the
controversial
pulse
all
the
time
and
unerringly
stages
a
coup,
especially
on
the
casting
front.
The
shrewd
filmmaker
that
he
is,
he
also
understands
that
the
only
way
to
get
his
favourite
actor,
Amitabh
Bachchan,
in
his
film
even
if
he
is
not
the
pivotal
character
is
to
get
his
son
Abhishek
to
play
the
lead.
Ditto
for
son
Abhishek.
The
best
way
to
get
Abhishek
though
not
in
a
prominent
role
is
to
have
him
play
second
fiddle
to
the
female
lead
to
his
wife
Aishwarya!
Whatever the strategic moves of RGV may have been, it has led to Sarkar 2 boasting a sizzling cast where Aishwarya gets added to the Sarkar pairing of Amitabh and Abhishek. In the sequel, Aishwarya the new Bachchan bahu plays the shrewd and manipulative wife of the new godfather, Abhishek.
The sequel to Sarkar begins shooting next month, and will show Amitabh the erstwhile patriarch reduced to an advisory role. Weakened by an ageing body, he confines himself to the house while his son runs the family business and deliver his brand of vigilante justice, very much like Godfather 2 in which Al Pacino takes over from Marlon Brando.
It is understood that Amitabh will be shown as reduced to a helpless old man who has only his experiences to hand down to his son, the new godfather. Wife Aishwarya will be the new don's backbone and whenever the going gets tough for Abhishek he leans on his tough wife. Abhishek will be shown struggling to retain his father's vice-like grip on the underworld businesses of the Nagre family.
Naturally Aishwarya's character is of paramount importance in the sequel where her manipulative strength and womanly cunning will be displayed in her first role with some negative shades. Sources made it clear however that Aishwarya's character does not completely break out of the mould of a Bollywood leading lady.
Not a totally negative character, she will strike a balance between her household work and the family business. Her character loves her family, but at the same time can be ruthless when it comes to the crunch.
