The scene was shot at the Juhu beach here, and Big B said
the serious look for the scene — as seen in the photographs — is deliberate.
“In prayer for the aarti for ‘Sarkar 3’ on the beach of
the Arabian Sea off Juhu and behind one of the prominent hotels of the area.
The sinister serious looks even for the Ganesh aarti, is deliberate and
pertinent for the scene,” he wrote on his blog.
“The aarti has been sung by me. No, it is not the same
one I did for Siddhivinak Temple, it is differently placed, more pertinent to
the events of the story of the film,” he added.
The film is the third instalment of the popular crime movie Sarkar.
The cine icon had played an integral part in the first two
instalments of the film.
Sarkar, which released in 2005, is set up in the world
of Indian politics. Its sequel Sarkar Raj hit the screens in
2008.
Sarkar 3 will see Amitabh reprising his role as Subhash
Nagre. The film will also features Rohini Hattangadi, Jackie Shroff, Manoj
Bajpayee, Ronit Roy, Bharat Dabholkar and Yami Gautam.
