RGV asked Bachchan, if there will be another Amitabh Bachchan. Big B dismissed it as a “stupid question.”

Amitabh Bachchan retaliates to RGV’s criticism and says, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what it takes to be an actor,” in the third promo of the interview.

Ram Gopal Varma declared, in a promo, that he was “bored” of Amitabh’s “modesty.”

The complete interview will be available for public viewing on May 8.

The first instalment of the Sarkar franchise was titled Sarkar, which released on July 1, 2005. It was followed by the release of Sarkar Raj on June 6, 2008.

Sarkar 3 features Jackie Shroff, Amit Sadh, Manoj Bajpayee, Ymai Gautam, Ronit Roy and Supriya Pathak in main roles.
