Amitabh Bachchan and 'Sarkar 3'

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has begun working on the third instalment of his popular crime drama franchise ‘Sarkar’. Starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan reprising his role, ‘Sarkar 3‘ would not see Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as confirmed by the director through his official Twitter handle. But reportedly, it is been heard now that actor Jackie Shroff may be joining Big B in this movie and much to surprise he would be playing a full-fledged negative role.

According to a source quoted in an agency, “The director is now in talks with Jackie Shroff for ‘Sarkar 3’. He (Jackie) has been approached for the role of a villain. He has liked his role but he is yet to sign the film as the dates and other formalities are being worked out.”

Apparently, a few days ago it was reported that Jaggu Dada may even play a pivotal part in Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan starrer ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’. But neither of the makers of these respective projects have come up with a confirmation on this casting.

On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan’s social thriller ‘Pink’ is ready for release on September 16, 2016. Whereas Jackie Shroff was last seen playing a pivotal part in ‘Housefull 3’ and more recently a cameo appearance in ‘Freaky Ali’ starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role.
