Is
it true that Sarkar draws inspiration from both Godfather
film and Bal Thakare's personal life?
Yes!
What
is the name of Amitab Bachchan in this film?
Nagare
Nagare
sounds like Thakare. Is that resemblance a deliberate one?
Yes!
What
is the reason for previewing Sarkar to Bal Thakare? What would
you have done if he had suggested any cuts?
I previewed it to Bal Thakare because he is one of the prominent
personalities of Mumbai. There is no question of his objecting
any scenes in Sarkar, as there are no controversial scenes
in Sarkar.
Has
he objected the idea of Amitab's character being inspired
by Thakare's real life?
Before joining ruling Government, Bal Thakare used to influence
the entire state in a big way as individual. That is the sort
of power he yielded. We have taken that as an inspiration
to Amitab's character in Sarkar.
You
quoted that Abhishek Bachchan has performed better than Amitab
in Sarkar film. Is it true?
Yes. Amitab Bachchan is a legend. And performing effortlessly
in front of him is a great achievement.
What
is the statement of Sarkar film?
There are no rights or no wrongs. There is only power.
Who
is the item girl for Sarkar film?
There is no song. There is no item girl. Sarkar is a song-less
film.
You
seem to have repeated Govinda Govinda background track from
Govinda Govinda film?
Yes. Govinda track in Govinda Govinda denotes Tirupati. Govinda
track in Sarkar denotes Lord Krishna.
Is
there any message in Sarkar for the society?
If I had to give message, I would send emails. Why should
I make a film for that!!
How
different is Sarkar film compared to your earlier films of
this genre?
In my earlier films, hero character used to be orphan. But
in this film there is a family for hero character.
Are
you anticipating any cuts after films release due to controversies?
The censor board passed the film without a single cut.
What
is the reason for taking Godfather as inspiration?
Godfather has inspired many films worldwide. I would not have
made this film if Godfather were not there. The same theme
of Godfather could be applied to kings, politics and industrialists
in movie scripts. I am applying it to politics in Sarkar film.
Are
you making a Telugu film with Ravi Teja as hero?
Yes. It is titled as 'Shock'.
Will
you do more Telugu films?
I am open to the idea of making Telugu films. I am having
plenty of stories. All I have to do is to find the right actor.
You
made a gangster film titled D recently. Why are you making
gangster flicks again?
I made Satya in 1999. I directed Company in 2001. I produced
D in this year. Am I not having decent gap between releases
of my gangster films?
You
said that you would make a film against media? Will you show
media in bad light?
Yes. Media is going to be the villain in that film.
