Sarkar 4 Update: Ram Gopal Varma To Reboot Franchise With Amitabh Bachchan & Abhishek Bachchan, Shoot Begins April 25

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is reportedly preparing to bring back one of his most iconic political crime franchises with Sarkar 4. Nearly nine years after the last installment, the director is planning a fresh reboot of the series featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan together once again.

According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the film is expected to go on floors starting April 25, marking a major comeback for both the filmmaker and the cult franchise.

First Schedule To Feature Bachchan Father-Son Duo

As per the report, the first shooting schedule will be particularly important because it will feature Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan together from the beginning.

Sources cited in the report suggest that Ram Gopal Varma is keen to start the film with key dramatic scenes involving the father-son duo, which has always been a central element of the Sarkar series.

Sarkar 4 Will Be A Reboot

Unlike previous installments, the upcoming film is expected to serve as a reboot rather than a direct continuation of the earlier storyline. The makers reportedly plan to revisit the political crime universe of Sarkar with a fresh narrative while retaining the powerful characters that made the franchise popular.

A Cult Franchise In Bollywood

The Sarkar series remains one of the most recognized works of Ram Gopal Varma. The first film, Sarkar, introduced audiences to the character of Subhash Nagre, played by Amitabh Bachchan, a powerful figure operating within Mumbai’s political and underworld landscape.

The film’s success led to the sequel Sarkar Raj, where Abhishek Bachchan’s character gained a more prominent role in the storyline.

The third installment, Sarkar 3, was released nearly a decade ago and left fans wondering whether the franchise would ever return.

Shooting Expected To Begin Soon

If everything proceeds according to schedule, Sarkar 4 will begin filming on April 25, with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan reportedly shooting several crucial scenes together during the initial phase.

With the return of the original creator and the iconic Bachchan duo, the upcoming reboot is already generating strong curiosity among fans who have long awaited the revival of the Sarkar universe.
