'Sarkar Raj' to hit theatres TODAY


New Delhi (PTI): Ram Gopal Verma's "Sarkar Raj", which brings together Bollywood's first family in a movie for the first time, will hit theatres across the country on Friday.

"Sarkar Raj", a sequel to the hit "Sarkar", marks Amitabh's first venture with Ram Gopal Verma after their box office disaster "Aag". The movie, seen by many as being inspired by the life of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, also features Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai together for the first time post marriage. "It's been an extraordinary experience working with Ram Gopal Verma yet again. I have the privilege of working with the family as well," the senior Bachchan said here ahead of the release of the movie.

He made it a point to emphasise that the personal bonding between the family members never overshadowed the characters of the film. "When we play a character in front of camera, we play our roles with efficiency which is desired of us by the director," claimed Bachchan who along with his son Abhishek acted in the film's previous version "Sarkar" that won critical acclaim.

Similar to Ramu's previous films, "Sarkar Raj" deals with the use of muscle and gun power in politics. Asked about the meaning of power in his real life, the the 65-year-old Bollywood superstar said it has a different meaning in different perspective.
