Ram Gopal Varma confirms 'Sarkar 3' with Big B

Ram Gopal Varma never fails to make news. This time round, it's for a good reason. After releasing the trailer of his latest film "Veerappan" and announcing "Rai", the maverick film maker has now confirmed that he is making "Sarkar 3" with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai won't be starring in "Sarkar 3."

The National Award-winning director who has been patiently waiting to re-unite with the Big B couldn't have been happier. Apart from the hit 'Sarkar' franchise, the actor-director have also worked together in 'Darna Zaroori Hai,' 'Nishabdh,' Ram Gopal Varma 'Ki Aag,' 'Rann' and 'Department'.

On April 7, on RGV's 54th birthday, Bachchan had visited the filmmaker's new office in Versova, called Company, checking out every nook and cranny. Ramu described it as his "real awesome moment" and the visit had fanned speculations about the two joining hands for 'Sarkar 3'. When Mirror got in touch with Bachchan, he responded, "Yes, I did visit Ram Gopal Varma at his new `Company' and among the many things we talked about, one was 'Sarkar 3'."
