Oblivious to criticism that filmmakers are glorifying the underworld, Ram Gopal Varma is also working on an Indian adaptation of "The Godfather".

The film titled "Sarkar" stars Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan and is slated for release July 1.

In an interview, Varma said: "Everybody who took the gun died a miserable death at the end of the day in the film. So when people accuse me of glorifying violence, this is my answer."

He added: "The point is that a filmmaker is like a journalist in projecting reality in the true sense of the word. He only packages it dramatically for greater effect."

Speaking about performances in "Sarkar", he claims that Abhishek is a better performer than his father, Amitabh.
