“Can I please make one thing clear? There’s no Sarkar 3. The series ended with Sarkar Raj. There can be no film in the Sarkar series without the Bachchans’. It is unthinkable,” says Ram Gopal Varma.
Ramu is baffled by the latest reports suggesting that he met Ranbir Kapoor for Sarkar 3. He doesn’t deny meeting the in-demand star-actor. “I’ve meet Ranbir Kapoor. And we’ve discussed some possibilities on what we can do. But Sarkar 3 is not one of them. I don’t want to make any more Sarkar films. Not now, not in the future,” says Ramu emphatically.
What Ramu has in mind for Ranbir is completely different. Though he doesn’t admit it on record the director wants to return to the intensely romantic language of Rangeela with Ranbir, after he finishes with his film on media and society Rann and the bio-pic Rakta Charitra on Paritala Ravi.
In the meanwhile his assistant Milind Gadagkar is directing the sequel to Phoonk for Ram Gopal Varma.
“I’ve been busy with Rann and Rakta Charitra. So Milind did Phoonk 2. He was closely involved with the first part of Phoonk,” says Ramu.
