Story

Sequel to Sarkar (2005). Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai play adversaries for most of the film, in business and morality. The character of Amitabh Bachchan (Sarkar) recedes into the background as Abhishek's character (Shankar Nagre) begins to weild power.

Aishwarya, who plays the CEO of Sheppard Power, an international power company, brings a proposal to set up a power plant in rural Maharashtra, before the Nagres.

An insightful Shankar is quick to realize the benefits of the power plant that can bring to the people. After convincing Sarkar, who is against it for various reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Aishwarya to villages of Maharashtra to mobilise support of the masses.

However, things are not what they seem to be. Shankar's dream project gradually becomes a political minefield. It is in this backdrop that the evil forces mightier than ever, mushroom and gang up to bring down Sarkar's regime and obliterate Shankar's name from the political horizon, Varma said.

"This time the socio-political content is higher than in 'Sarkar', but the characters are not modelled on real people," says Ram Gopal Varma

Notes

According to some reports, Amitabh Bachchan is not happy with the way the climax, featuring him and Abhishek Bsachchan, was filmed and has asked Ram Gopal Varma to reshoot it. Ram Gopal Varma denies there is a problem.
