The pair of Ram Gopal Varma and Amitabh Bachchan is back, and so is the return of ‘Sarkar’, with ‘Sarkar 3’. Announcing a Bollywood film with Amitabh Bachchan after long, director Ram Gopal Varma speaks on why he decided to make ‘Sarkar 3’, the franchise full of celebs and cinema world’s A-listers.
“Ever since people first saw ‘Zanjeer’, the emotion of anger has been synonymous with the name Amitabh Bachchan.
Anger against injustice, anger against suppression and anger against exploitation were hallmarks of the various characters he played, which collectively made him India’s biggest super star.
But over the last so many years, because of him being such a tremendous actor, many directors including me went on this greedy trip of wanting to capture his various other shades and in that process we actually forgot what Amitabh Bachchan really is.
The only time I remember seeing anger in him in the last 10 years is in ‘Sarkar’. Not a single director in the last decade or so exploited that power, which only he can create on screen. Even me with all my understanding of his cinematic power, I created only mild characters like in ‘Rann’, ‘Nishabd’, etc. Anger is a very common emotion but Amitabh Bachchan’s anger gives that very same emotion a very superior and larger than life quality, and that’s what I tried to capture in ‘Sarkar’.
This time in ‘Sarkar 3’, the scale and the negative forces of the earlier two ‘Sarkar’ films will pale in comparison and that will of course make him angrier than ever before.
All in all, I just want to say that ‘Sarkar 3’ will be the Return of Bachchan’s Anger.”
