'Abhishek Bachchan excels in silent close-ups'

For those who have seen Sarkar , will most probably agree with the fact that Abhishek Bachchan excels in silent close-ups – a quality that Ram Gopal Varma has brought to the fore.

Recently, Abhishek took a day off from his hectic schedule to do some additional shooting for Varma's Sarkar Raj before he flew off to Miami to join Karan Johar 's Dostana .

According to Varma, "There were a few vital close-ups of Abhishek that I wanted to add to the film, so before anyone jumps to the conclusion that I re-shot my film, let me quickly clear the air. I think Abhishek excels in silent close-ups. Not too many actors of his generation know how to hold silences on camera. I made him do that in Naach . And I just thought a few tight close-ups would add to the drama in Sarkar Raj."

Varma added that Abhishek has given yet another riveting performance in ‘Sarkar Raj’ after Guru .

"I wouldn't even compare the two performances on any level except that intensity that Abhishek brings to both the roles. Abhishek and Aishwarya in ‘Sarkar Raj’ will be very different from ‘Guru’. And if you ask me, he has gone far beyond what he did in ‘Sarkar’."

‘Sarkar Raj’, that also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has Ash playing a manipulative and ruthless businesswoman who doesn’t care to bend the rules to make money from the people.

On the other hand, Abhishek’s character has shades of philanthropy. He, too, makes money, but for the people and not from them.

This basic ideological polarity is the difference between Ash and Abhishek in ‘Sarkar Raj’. Their characters are antagonistic to each other before their conflict takes a different turn and transforms into subdued romance.

Varma says ‘Sarkar Raj’ is a bigger film than its prequel. The movie doesn’t carry the old story forward, but takes a look at another episode in the Nagare family’s life.
