The news of director Ram Gopal Varma planning to make a sequel of his 1995 hit flick ‘Rangeela’ had got us all jumping with joy, but turns out, we will have to wait some more for that to happen.

The filmmaker himself confirmed on Wednesday that he is not planning to make a sequel of the blockbuster, at the trailer launch of his upcoming film ‘Sarkar 3’. When asked about the sequel, RGV said, “No that isn’t true.”

The 1995 blockbuster starred Urmila Matondkar, Jackie Shroff and Aamir Khan, and went on to become a commercial and critical success. The movie madeĀ Urmila and Aamir overnight stars and gave platform to their careers.

Also speaking of ‘Sarkar 3’ and Amitabh Bachchan reprising the role of powerful leader Subhash Nagre, the filmmaker said, “A person takes up the law because he believes that he is doing it for the oppressed people though it is illegal in the eyes of the system.Ā But in the eyes of the audience, it is the righteous thing because they connect with the emotion that’s why ‘Sarkar’ becomes more powerful as a leader.”

“‘Sarkar 3’ is full of grey characters. There is no such hero or heroine or a villain as such. All of them strongly believe in their own convictions,” he adds.

The film also featured Manoj Bajpayee, Amit Sadh, Jackie Shroff and Yami Gautam and isĀ set to release on April 7.
