sarkar

Sarkar Raj (meaning "Rule of the Overlord") is a 2008 Indian crime film/political film/drama film/thriller film co-written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It is the sequel to Sarkar (2005). The primary cast features three members of the Bachchan family - Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who appear together for the first time in a film after Aishwarya and Abhishek's marriage. The film released on June 6, 2008. Supriya Pathak, Tanisha Mukherjee and Ravi Kale also reprised their respective roles from Sarkar.

There were false speculations that the film's story has been adapted from the Enron scandal^[1] due to its premise of development politics and the construction of a power plant. Debutante Rajesh Shringarpore's character of Sanjay Somji was also reportedly based on Raj Thackeray, the estranged cousin of political leader Bal Thackeray; thus furthering the general viewpoint that the series is based on Bal Thackeray and his family. This movie is originally written, unlike its prequel, which was a loose adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and which also had plot elements of its sequel The Godfather Part II.
