Ram Gopal Verma invited Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackray, along with Raj and Uddav Thackray for a special screening of 'Sarkar'. Is the film is based on the life of Sena leader? Verma says they were invited only as friends. "I was inspired by The Godfather. The movie doesn't have anything to do with Bal Thackray's life", he explains.
