MUMBAI: 'Sarkar 3', starring Amitabh Bachchan, got in a legal trouble after Narendra Hirawat & Co filed a case against the makers of the upcoming Ram Gopal Varma's directorial. "We bought all the legal rights of 'Sarkar' franchise years ago and are left with no other option than to approach the high court." The press release falsely states that Narendra Hirawat & Co owns the prequel and sequel rights to movie 'Sarkar' along with remake rights." The spokesperson further said that Narendra Hirawat & Co are wrongly contending before the court that the present movie 'Sarkar 3' is a remake of the original movie 'Sarkar'. As is widely known, the story in all three movie has been progressing and thus, movie 'Sarkar 3' is a sequel to the film 'Sarkar Raj' and not a remake of 'Sarkar'."
