Sarkar Raj starring Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and his wife Aishwarya Rai, got a mixed response, but Jaya loved it.

"Varma was asked this question at a press conference in Bangkok and he said he has not thought about it. But Jaya in a rare reaction has urged him that he must do a part three, as did a few others. I personally feel he should not. Better for people to say 'why not' than 'why did you'," Amitabh told IANS.

Incidentally, she is the most outspoken Bachchan of the family who didn't think Varma's remaking Sholay was a good idea and who was vocal of her opposition to tampering with an invincible classic.

And now Jaya is excited by the idea of a trilogy in the Sarkar series. The latest political thriller ends with the death of Abhishek's character.

Incidentally, the director had thought about another sequel even while Sarkar Raj was in post-production.
