As part of 'Idea' promotional Tour, unit of Sarkarraj, including Bachchan family and Ramgopal Varma, visited Hyerabad and attended the show in PVR.
Ramgopal Varma said, 'I am very happy to be here, especially to the Panjagutta Circle. It is around here that I used to run a video rental shop in the past. I was even arrested once on the charges of possessing a pirated movie of Amitabh titled Akhari Rastha. Today, I am happy that I could direct a film with the very same actor. I feel a bit proud when I think of that. And coming to Sarkar Raj, no matter what a few people are talking, the film is doing terrific business. The first week collections prove the point. Only in the first one week, the film grossed more than 50 crores. In UK, Sarkar collected 1 Lakh 50 Thousand Pounds in overall run while Sarkar Raj collected 1 Lakh Pounds in just 4 days. Do I need to say more to prove that the film is a superhit?'
Amitabh said, 'Akhari Rastha issue narrated by Ramgopal Varma proves the determination and will power in him'. 'I am sorry Ramu that you went to jail because of me', quipped Amitabh. 'It is not we who delivered these performances. It is Ramu who extracted that from us', said Amitabh.
The Bachchan trio then took the questions from the media.
Responding to a question on if there are few more sequels on Sarkar, Ramgopal answered, 'May Be'. Sarkar Raj was completed before Aag was done. But RGV let Aag release first and then released Sarkar Raj. When asked about the same and how he feels about Aag, he responded in usual RGV style - 'I feel Terrific'. Answering that same question, Abhishek said, 'What is happening now is important. Sarkar Raj turned into a big hit and we are nejoying the success. There is no point in digging the past', said Abhishek.
When Aishwarya was asked about how does she compare Abhishek and Amitabh, having worked with both of them, she responded, 'It is tough to say. Amitabh is like a encyclopedia or University. Abhishek is a fun loving guy when he is not shooting but strictly enters into the character the moment he enters the shooting spot. I like that in him. It is a good learning experience working with both'.
Interesting thing here is that Ramgopal varma's daughter also attended the event.
