Jaya Bachchan in Sarkar Raaj?

Ram Gopal Verma’s forthcoming film Sarkar Raaj is in the buzz for many reasons. Of course one of the main reasons, this will be Aishwarya and Abhishek’s first movie post their marriage. Apart from Abhishek and Ash it stars Amitabh Bachchan in a prominent role. It seems Sarkar Raaj is going to be a Bachchan family film as we were told that Jaya Bachchan will also be seen in a guest appearance.

It is believed that her character is supposed to be a surprise for the audience. Director Ram Gopal Verma doesn’t want to reveal anything at this point. When quizzed about Jaya Bachchan’s role in Sarkar Raj he quipped, “If Jaya Bachchan is in the film, I will go to hell. But then I am an atheist, and do not believe in god.”

Even Amitabh Bachchan too didn’t want to reveal anything about Jaya Bachchan’s guest appearance and he reacted to RGV’s statement like this, “If Ramu has said she is in film then he must know better. After all he has made it!”

However, when we spoke to Z Picture Company, who will be marketing and distributing the film, they denied it. But even they are not completely sure as they have only seen portions of the first half. So the question remains, will Jaya Bachchan be a part of this film? The lady in question was away from Mumbai and we were unable to contact her.

Sarkar Raaj deals with the conflict of emotions between the characters played by Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. It has a power packed performance by Abhishek Bachchan. His character in Sarkar was appreciated by the critics and again this time he has portrayed an equally promising role.

The first look of Sarkar Raaj is an Indiatimes.Movies exclusive. Ramu explains the creative as, “We have intentionally kept Mr.Bachchan in the background and Abhishek more prominently in the forefront because it essentially means that there has been a transfer of power from the old guard to the new guard.”

Reportedly Ash plays a contemporary business woman and her character is quite similar to Rebecca Mark-Jusbasche head of the Enron International division of Enron.

It is needless to say that Jaya Bachcan’s character would be short but quite prominent in the film. But we have no option but do the wait and watch game.
