Mumbai, Oct 18 (IANS): Actor Amit Sadh, who has previously appeared in films like "Kai Po Che!", "Guddu Rangeela" and "Sultan", on Tuesday started shooting for veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varmas upcoming film "Sarkar 3".

"I enter a new world today, a new institution all together. Earlier it was a dream and now it's reality which really excites me and also sends shivers down my spine to even stand in front of Amitabh Bachchan in a movie, a cult that is our very own godfather," Amit said in a statement.

"I feel extremely privileged and also very excited to be directed by Ramu (Varma) sir. Not exaggerating, but I am enjoying every second of interaction with this genius and a man who doesn't want to talk anything other than films.

"I am so happy to join a cast, whose credentials are beyond boastful," he added.

"Sarkar 3" features Amitabh reprising his role as Subhash Nagre. The film also stars Rohini Hattangadi, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpayee, Ronit Roy, Bharat Dhabolkar and Yami Gautam.

The first two instalments -- "Sarkar" and "Sarkar Raj" -- were set in the world of Marathi politics and were written and directed by Varma himself.
