Abhishek Gives Sex Talk

2008-05-27T03:59:00.000-07:00

From what we hear, Abhishek Bachchan is quite a prankster on the sets. It seems, recently he was shooting for Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar Raj’ along with the rest of the unit at Anjanpur, a village in Hyderabad. The scene required Abhishek to lecture the villagers about a serious issue. Varma told him to ad lib as the actual dialogues would be taken care of while dubbing the particular scene. Besides, the maker had clearly instructed the villagers to look serious while listening to Abhishek. However, the moment, the clapper board was sounded and Varma said 'Action', junior B started lecturing on sex to the villagers, much to the embarrassment of those present around. He not only went into the biological details but also went on to explain the entire process to the bewildered villagers. When the rural folk realized what was happening they tried hard not to laugh as they didn’t want to incur Varma’s wrath. But they couldn’t hold back their laughter for long and they all burst into peals of laughter.

It is learnt a part of Aishwarya’s role in Ram Gopal Varma’s much awaited film ‘Sarkar Raj’ has been chopped as the film was running too long. Besides, the maker felt that Ash’s character as the CEO of an international firm was taking away attention from the main plot.

Unlike any other actor, who would have raved and ranted over this new development, the ex-beauty queen has taken it very sportingly. And why wouldn’t she? After all, the film’s main cast includes members of her family -- husband Abhishek Bachchan and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.

Sarkar Raj – the Ram Gopal Varma diaries

2008-05-13T00:43:00.000-07:00

Ram Gopal Varma is all set to hit theatres once again with his new flick Sarkar Raj that’s a sequel to the former ‘Sarkar’. Although it’s a sequel RGV claims that it is not in continuity, on the contrary it’s a different story all together.

As per Varma ‘Sarkar Raj’ is all about power used in politics and he has used every bit of his filming experience in showing the intensity of his lead actors through their eyes to emote anger, love and other relationships.

Varma also said that he feels Sarkar Raj will be much bigger than Sarkar was as the issues shown in the film are a lot more complicated and interesting at the same time.

The promos of Sarkar Raj are already out and it goes without saying that RGV has invested all his talent and creativity in this film that he has. He has even taken care of the finest technicalities that he could in terms of creating an impact with superior sound, be it any frame of the film. Having said that he also said that but at the end of the day it’s the performances that create maximum impact more than anything else…

And at the end of it all he is all praises for the Bachchans, he says the best in Bollywood will be seen all together in one film…
