Presented by Eros International and produced by Allumbra Entertainment, Wave Cinemas and AB Corp, “Sarkar 3” is the third film in Varma’s “Sarkar” series.

“Sarkar”, which released in 2005, is set in the world of Indian politics. Its sequel “Sarkar Raj” hit the screens in 2008.

“Sarkar 3” will see Amitabh reprising his role as Subhash Nagre. The film will also feature Yami Gautam, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpayee, Amit Sadh, Rohini Hattangadi, Ronit Roy and Bharat Dabholkar.

Amitabh also stressed the importance of documenting the process of filmmaking for “posterity of the largest film industry in the world”.

In a post on his official blog, the “Piku” star said: “It is rare to just sit in an environment of cinema, and talk about cinema and its craft. A documentation that has such immense importance and one that the industry has never done.”

“I do hope someday someone shall start this process…not just for their personal self but for the posterity of the largest film industry in the world.”

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma on Thursday courted trouble with feminists, activists and political parties roundly slamming him for his controversial International Women’s Day comments on actress Sunny Leone, a former adult entertainer. The filmmaker later apologised on Twitter to those who were “genuinely offended” by his comment.

“My apology is only to those who genuinely got offended and not to those who ranted for publicity and threatened to take law into their hands. Was just expressing my feelings but I apologise to all who were offended due to my unintended insensitive tweets in context of women’s day,” Varma tweeted in the evening.

Earlier, his tweet on Wednesday — “I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives” — triggered a storm of protests on Twitter.

He was trolled widely.

As the row over the comment snowballed, RGV came up with more: “The negative noise towards my tweet on Sunny Leone arises from ultimate hypocrisy. She has more honesty and more self-respect than any women.”

Nationalist Congress Party’s senior leader Jitendra Awhad hit out at him: “RGV apologise or face the consequences. We don’t mind taking law in hand.”

Undeterred, RGV shot back nonchalantly: “Great @PawarSpeaks (NCP President Sharad Pawar) should kick you out for threatening to take law in hands in our sovereign democratic country. You are a disgrace to his ideals.”

Unfazed, Awhad warned that if RGV didn’t apologise, he would lodge a formal police complaint against the filmmaker.

Late on Wednesday, social activist Vishakha Mhabrey lodged a complaint with Mapusa police station in Goa, demanding RGV’s Twitter account be blocked.

She also demanded that an offence should be registered against RGV under the cyber laws and the Indian Penal Code for victimisation of women.

Not cowed down, RGV tweeted: “Filing counter against OverActivist with 212 followers which would be her family and friends, for disrespective 18 lakh followers of Sunny Leone.”

NCP spokesperson Vidya Chavan warned that if RGV failed to apologise, they would launch a ‘Joote Maro Andolan’ and beat him up with footwear.

The Film Studio Setting & Allied Mazdoor Union, with over 50,000 members, jumped into the controversy on Thursday by starting a boycott of RGV on his tweets.

On Thursday, Prateeksha Korgaonkar, state convenor of Ranaragini, the women’s wing of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in Goa, too filed a complaint against RGV with the Goa State Women’s Commission.
