SARKAR RAJ poster
Sarkar Raj is the much awaited sequel to the acclaimed hit film Sarkar by Ram Gopal Varma. Sarkar was inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s film The Godfather, but the sequel will be completely original. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the first time in a film post Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage. The film is set to release on June 6, 2008.

Sarkar Raj is an intense political drama and is essentially a study of power; it explores the politics of development, and takes a fresh look at the tradition versus modernity debate.

When Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai - Bachchan), CEO of Sheppard power plant, an international Company, brings a power plant proposal to set up in rural Maharashtra, before the Nagre’s an insightful Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan) is quick to realize the benefits the power plant can bring to the people. After convincing Sarkar (Amitabh Bachchan) who is against it for various reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Anita to the villages of Maharashtra to mobilize support of the masses.

However, things are not what they seem to be, from shady fixers with an eye on multi-million kick-backs or wannnabe Shankars that are ready to incite millions of people against the highly controversial project in a state that is witnessing the worst of coalition politics.

Shankar’s dream project gradually becomes a political minefield, it is in this backdrop the evil forces mightier than ever, mushroom and gang up to bring down the regime of Sarkar and obliterate Shankar’s name from the political horizon.

Welcome to Surfer’s World. The good the bad and the ugly. The true story of an Original OC California Local. Please take a break and hang on tight. Try some Real Reality. Take a little time to get to know him, you won’t be sorry. Surfer reported being molested by his Priest to the Catholic Church a long time ago. They said his family would be excommunicated and that he would go to Hell if he spoke out or sought legal help. So he kept his mouth shut. That was the Policy of the Catholic Church set in place by Cardinal Alfred Ottaviani in 1962. This is Surfer’s life. He has a Right to have it told. You may see a mentally mangled man in this film, but remember he was an innocent child. Let’s think about that. What would it be like to be confused and violated for years by a Priest your family trusted, and respected? By 6th grade he was a full blown Alcoholic. Acting out wild behavior, bringing the wrath of his dad down upon him. Isolated, damaged and deformed. Preyed upon again by booze and drugs. Lost in a world of fear and isolation. So then it’s like… Oh check out Surfer he’s a Burnout! ha… ha… ha… He happens to be a Human Being and who walked alone in his own personal Hell. Then one day he saw the Priest that molested him on TV. He stood up. He told the truth. They paid him off. Nice huh? Sorry that isn’t how it works in Reality. His life just spun out of control even more. As I edit the video and audio files of him I am constantly blown away by what he had to say.
