Also, the film is said to be Ramu's tribute to The Godfather.
This film, however, is not about organised crime. In fact, Sarkar revolves around a politician and his family.
Amitabh Bachchan plays the patriarch, Subhash Nagare (is the rhyming with a certain politician in Mumbai a coincidence?), and the film revolves around him and his sons, Shankar (Abhishek) and Vishnu (KK Menon).
The promos (soon to be released on television) look fantastic and hard-hitting, shot crisply in black and white, with the Bachchan baritone booming menacingly throughout.
The promo kicks off with a Mahatma Gandhi quote: 'Think Rightly. Act Rightly. Live Rightly.'

The black and white shots include intense close-ups of Amitabh, his cup of tea, and the rudraksh beads hanging from his hand. By the last frame of the promo, we can see Amitabh in colour.
Sarkar is a K Sera Sera Production and is slated to release this summer.
