Over the years, there have been countless sequels that have hit the screens. Many have been successful, some have just not risen up to the occasion. Some have dropped the anchor after second in the series itself, while a select few have moved on to the third in the series as well. There have been very rare franchises though that have moved on to the fourth installment, Raaz Reboot being the one that released last year and Golmaal 4 which has now gone on floors.
However, seldom has one actually come across a series where the story has practically moved from first to the third part, and that too with not just the same characters but even the same set up as well as definite continuation of the story. While that has happened in the past with Krrish 3, it is now all set to happen for Sarkar 3 as well.

About the film Ram Gopal Varma wrote, “My vision for Sarkar 3
When I made my first Sarkar, the principal motivation for me was to create a character more powerful than Mr.Bachchan ever performed. Sarkar is not just about the physical aspects of power, but It is also about an ultra quiet intensity in how he demonstrates it.
I frankly can imagine Godfather without a Brando but I believe that Amitabh Bachchan is the only actor who possesses the kind of magnetism and charisma to make a character like Sarkar come alive.

This Bollywood take on the 2011 boxing saga hits home occasionally but sacrifices drama for fight scenes stripped of emotional scar tissue
Bollywood has long eyed up Hollywood for inspiration: since the millennium, it’s remade everything from The Godfather (2008’s Sarkar Raj) tothe David Duchovny heart transplant saga Return to Me (2004’s Dil Ne Jise Apne Kahaa). Fox’s high-profile Brothers forms an interesting case study, reworking material that flopped the first time around: Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior, that 2011 mix of mythology and mixed martial arts that sought to provide rock ’em-sock ’em entertainment to crowds whose credit had been crunched. (Sadly, they couldn’t afford the ticket.) That film was very specifically tied to an America reeling from rounds of foreclosures and lay-offs; removed of that context, the story can’t pack the same punch.

Mumbai, Nov 18: Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma says "Sarkar" and "Sarkar Raj" would not have been possible without Bal Thackeray and adds some of the dialogues in the film were inspired by the Shiv Sena supremo.
Thackeray died Saturday.
"If Godfather was not there, I wouldn't have made 'Sarkar'...if Bala Saheb wasn't there, I couldn't have made 'Sarkar' (sic)," Varma tweeted.
"Many of the dialogue from both 'Sarkar' and 'Sarkar Raj' are actually Bala Saheb's lines which I copied from what he said. He actually told me, 'Mujhe jo sahi lagta hai main wahi karta hoon!', which I copied and made Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) say.

This Friday, July 6th, we will get to see Abhishek Bachchan as we have never seen him before in the action-comedy Bol Bachchan. Directed by hit maker Rohit Shetty and also starring the fabulous Ajay Devgn, the film, according to the actor was a totally new and challenging experience. Not only because he had to play two completely different characters: one a confident, macho, moustached conman and the other an effeminate sidekick, complete with magenta floral shirt, but also because these two roles required him to do a much broader style of comedy than he has ever done before. Check out what the actor had to say about playing Abbas and Abhishek, what it was like to work with his father on the title song and what he would give himself for his performance in the film!

One of contemporary Hindi cinema’s most inventive filmmakers, Ram Gopal Varma, unites a who’s who of cross-generational acting heavyweights in his latest piece of cinematic artistry, Department, opening its doors in the UK on 18th May 2012 through B4U Pictures and presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
With all the markings of another classic and following the tradition of earlier superhits such as Company, Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, Varma takes audiences on another rollercoaster ride to the dark side – this time into the guarded inner echelons of the police ‘department’, where the unnerving power struggles quickly separate the men from the boys.
Testifying the film’s thematic mantra that ‘Real Power Comes From Real Men’, Department features acting heavyweights that transcend the generations as veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt appear alongside Tamil artist and rising star of Hindi cinema, Rana Daggubati. Not for the faint-hearted, the film...

If all goes well, the concluding part of the Sarkar saga would hit the floors in October, 2012. The initial feeler that Sarkar 3 was on the cards was let out by Ramu himself on the sets of Bhoot 2 in Pali Hill, Bandra where he announced, “Sarkar 3 will go on floors this October. The script is almost ready.”
Speculations were rife about the Bachchan bahu making a comeback into films with this last installment of the Sarkar trilogy, which is believed to be Ram Gopal Varma’s tribute to Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather series. Ash, who was on a sabbatical during her maternity was rumored to make her grand comeback with Sarkar 3. The buzz is now out that Ash might return to Hindi cinema with either King Khan or John Abraham in the movie Happy Birthday. It was also heard that she might be doing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani with Srk.

Some say he has lost it, other's say he is a failed genius but keeping all these definitions aside, Ram Gopal Varma is one of India's most unpredictable directors when it comes to box office successes. His last big critical acclaim came with a huge success in the form of Amitabh Bachchan starrer Sarkar followed by the sequel Sarkar Raj that surprised a lot of industry insiders as it made it to the Top Ten movies in the UK during its release.

Talk in the industry circles is that Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubati have started treating each other as 'more than just friends'. However, for the love birds there may be a shocker round the corner. There are very strong indications that regardless of their personal equation with each other, there may be a professional setback for Bipasha and Rana, what with the makers of their films deciding to pitch their offerings against each other.

Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan
Actor Amitabh Bachchan has reportedly walked out of Ram Gopal Varma?s Department after son Abhishek Bachchan was dropped from the cast
Ram Gopal Varma had allegedly revealed the ending of Dum Maaro Dum (2011) before its release through an SMS and also made digs at Abhishek Bachchan. This resulted in a fall out between the two and saw Rana Daggubati replace Junior Bachchan in Department. Amitabh Bachchan didn?t take this lightly and walked out of the film. A source reported ?Amitabh is not interested in working with a filmmaker who has meted out such shoddy treatment to his son?.
Ram Gopal Varma
“It all started last month when Abhishek told Ramu that he wasn’t too keen on working in the film. The director couldn’t take a ‘No’ gracefully. He started sending out uncharitable remarks on Dum Maro Dum from his cellphone,” revealed a source.
