Ram Gopal Varma reveals the plot of Sarkar 2 with Brand Bachchan in it
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma takes time off from finishing his Sholay extravaganza and planning the start of shooting for Sarkar 2, to talk about his forthcoming films. Excerpts from an interview:
You’re getting together the Bachchans for the first time…
Yes, but I didn’t cast them as the first family. I signed Aishwarya long before she got involved with Abhishek. And they aren’t a couple in Sarkar 2. Abhishek is already married to Tanisha in Sarkar, remember?
But the audience will look at the couple in a different way…
I disagree. Once the audience enters a theatre, it creates its own ambience in the first 10 minutes. Unless a film is designed to accentuate personal equations between actors, audiences forget what relationships actors share in real life.
Does Big B play a semi-retired character?
Yes. Sarkar ended showing the senior Bachchan in retirement. But in Sarkar 2, Abhishek isn’t willing to take over the mantle. We pick up the story from there.
Are you doing Sarkar 2 only because everyone other filmmaker is into sequels?
It was Abhishek’s idea. We decided on Sarkar 2 even before the shooting for Sarkar was over. The characters seemed to tempt me enough to give them renewed life. We pick up the story from there. Abhishek’s character will be substantially more in the forefront. But like every son in a business empire, he’ll continue to look up to his father for support.
