Ram
Gopal
Varma
is
confident
about
his
upcoming
film
Sarkar
Raj.
Now
does
it
really
warrant
to
be
touted
as
Breaking
News?
No,
not
at
all.
After
all
the
man
has
always
sounded
positive
about
his
movies,
regardless
of
whether
the
man
behind
the
camera
is
him
or
his
spot
boy,
driver
or
an
office
boy!
He
was
confident
of
Ram
Gopal
Varma
Ki
Aag,
he
was
confident
of
Nishabd,
he
was
confident
of
Darling
and
he
was
also
confident
of
Shiva!
So
what
really
makes
one
believe
that
the
words
coming
from
Ramu
are
indeed
sincere
when
he
talks
about
Sarkar
Raj?
Well,
of
course,
the
vintage
factor
which
makes
one
nostalgic
about
Sarkar,
his
last
bona
fide
success.
Laughs
Ramu,
"You
tell
me,
how
much
can
I
actually
go
wrong
with
Sarkar
Raj?
I
am
making
a
movie
which
takes
its
setting
and
characters
from
a
film
which
has
already
been
largely
accepted
by
the
audience
over
the
years."
Tell
him
that
it
indeed
is
the
case
since
Nagres
did
turn
out
to
be
household
names
after
the
release
of
Sarkar
and
he
adds
on,
"See,
Sarkar
was
liked
by
quite
a
few
people.
The
box
office
itself
is
witness
to
that.
The
subject
was
lapped
up
well
while
the
characters
were
appreciated.
People
wanted
to
know
what
more
happened
in
the
lives
of
Subhash
Nagre
and
Shankar
Nagre,
the
characters
played
by
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Abhishek
Bachchan
respectively."
So
how
does
he
delve
into
the
journey
of
the
family
from
this
point
on?
"When
power
changes
hands,
a
lot
of
things
happen.
And
in
case
of
Sarkar
Raj,
third
dimension
comes
in
the
form
of
Aishwarya
Bachchan's
introduction
too.
All
of
this
does
lead
to
quite
a
few
volatile
situations
in
the
film",
hints
Ramu,
"See,
my
characters
are
all
set
so
it
saves
me
a
lot
of
time
(and
some
raw
stock)
to
establish/introduce
them
to
the
audience.
All
I
have
to
do
now
is
tell
them
what
happened
once
Shankar
started
calling
the
shots."
