You can take RGV out of Bollywood, but you just cant take Bollywood out of RGV.
After that lemon called RGV ki Aag, Mister Maverick seemed to be under self-imposed hibernation till Sarkar Raj could finally take shape, spread wings and soar, just like the original Sarkar did.
Umm..did I say original?
Well, Godfather was always an inspiration, but RGV managed to make a decent interpretation out of it.
Unlike Sholay.
And unlike Sarkar, Sarkar Raj promises to be completely original(!), and is slated to be shades darker and better that Sarkar.
The First Look was unveiled last Sunday to a select audience, with Big B (Lead Actor, Movie Patriarch, Indulgent Father all rolled into one), who stood visibly beaming as the Real/Reel couple of the movie, spoke about their wedding anniversary, Karan Johar's Dostana, life after marriage, Shankar's ROBOT, ..and err..Sarkar Raj, via satellite from Miami where they are currently busy shooting.
Sarkar Raj is the next generation's take on current matters and the differences in ideologies in the Nagre family, between Sarkar (Subash Nagre a.k.a AB) and Shankar Nagre ( Abhishek Bachchan).
Anita Rajan (Ms.Aishwarya Rai Bachchan),CEO of an International Power Consortium brings a proposal to start a powerplant in rural Maharashtra and presents it in front of the Nagres'.
Nagre Junior jumps at the proposal, convinces senior Sarkar against his reservations, and accompanies Ms.CEO to the hinterland, to personally garner support for the project.
The rest of the movie is in true blue spirit of RGV, where double-dealings, blackmails and communal overtones all come together to a spectacular finale, with Jr and Sarkar caught spank in the middle.
Slated for release on June 6th, Sarkar Raj is co-written by Prashanth Pandey, whose Bollywood Value will rise or fall with this movie.
This also happens to be the second movie where the First Family comes together, the first one being Bunty and Babli.
Not that it helps in anyway with the fate of the movie.
But, given the frivolous limits to which our marketing mandarins go to market a movie these days, please don't be surprised to have this very fact being touted as the USP of the movie, if everything else fails.
Public memory being what it is, in another fortnight, the media would be awash with the teaser promos of the movie and before you know, you would be caught up in the media frenzy just like any other RGV release that came your way.
Ladies and Gentlemen, RGV is back
