In what could easily be an unprecedented move, the CBFC has asked the makers of  the makers of Amitabh Bachchan starrer are asked to put up a disclaimer with their trailer

 Ram Gopal Varma’s third instalment in Sarkar franchise has been in news for some time. The filmmaker is uniting with Amitabh Bachchan once again for this film and is all set to release the first trailer soon. However, the Censor Board has asked him to add a disclaimer even with the trailer that it is a work of fiction.

 Usually disclaimers are reserved for films.   Promos and trailers are spared this safeguarding exercise. However, in what could be a first, or at least rare, the CBFC has asked the makers of Sarkar 3 trailer.

 The reason behind this is that the Board has felt that the scenes and dialogues of the trailer bear an uncanny resemblance to the Thackeray family and a disclaimer is an absolute must.  If you recall, this has been a constant with the Sarkar franchise.  Even when the earlier two parts came, there was a comparison between the character played by Amitabh Bachchan and the late Thackeray patriarch.  Parallels were drawn between some of the other leads and members of the Thackeray family too.  However this was never acknowledged or confirmed.

 Sarkar 3 releasing on 7th April 2017 along with Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer Jagga Jasoos
