Mumbai, June 20: After much hype about Ram Gopal Varma planning another sequel to Sarkar, it seems the project is not on the director’s priority list.
Till recently, it was believed that after the success of Sarkar and its sequel Sarkar Raaj, Ramu was keen on making Sarkar 3, but it looks like he has no inclination to make the film right now.
Ramu was recently invited to speak on the cult film The Godfather during the The Godfather Film Festival, organised by the The Enlighten Film Society.
At the one-of-a-kind interactive session, Ramu spoke about the story behind the making of Sarkar. He said he would not attempt another sequel till it has the required subjects, characters and the treatment needed for the film, which is in a way a remake of The Godfather. However, journalist Bhavna Somaya, who was present on the occasion, said,” The audience won’t be surprised if he suddenly comes up with Sarkar 3. That’s Ramu for you – unpredictable!” Rumours were ripe that RGV was keen on making Sarkar 3, and if the buzz is to be believed, even the Bachchans had agreed to work in it. But, it now looks Ramu wants to keep it in cold storage for a while, till he gets an interesting plot to take it forward.
Right now Ramu is concentrating on Agyaat, which he claims is a true horror film.
The film is said to be inspired by acclaimed international thrillers like Ridley Scott’s Alien, Daniel Myrick’s Blair Witch Project and John Carpenter’s The Thing. Recently, he was in the news for the national anthem controversy in his film Rann. He is also shooting his much talked about film with Vivek Oberoi, Raktacharitra.
