"Yes, I did visit Ram Gopal Varma at his new 'Company' and among the many things we talked about, one was 'Sarkar 3'," said Big B, as reported by the tabloid.
The hit franchise's last instalment, Sarkar Raj came out 8 years ago and thus, it was revealed by the director that changes needed to be made keeping the essence of Sarkar intact. The shooting is scheduled to happen in Mumbai and London. The franchise modelled on Shiv Sena supremo, late Bal Thackeray's life, was appreciated by viewers and is sure to attract attention this time around as well.
The Nishabdh director also said that none of the other Bachchans will star in this film. "There will be a new set of characters who were not part of the earlier films," he added.
