Sarkar Raj of Ram Gopal Varma

Sarkar Raj of Ram Gopal Varma has been caught up in arguments right from its commencement. The story of Sarkar Raj is based on the Enron issue and the Nagre family (Amitabh's family in the film) is said to be inspired by Bal Thackeray's family. In fact Ramu had even gone on record to say that Bal Thackeray has inspired Amitabh’s character.
Now there are some reports that one of the key characters in the film is modeled after Raj Thackeray. TV actor Rajesh Shringarpure plays the character and he plays a flaming politician in the film that is against the Nagre family. It seems his mannerisms; his look and the aggressiveness have been modeled after Raj.
Rajesh Shringarpure denied that he plays a character similar to Raj. He said that his character is called Sanjay Somji and he is fiery and ambitious, he tries to get his foothold in politics. However, he is not supposed to give any more details about his character in the film. The audiences can judge if his character is close to any real life person or a fictitious one.
When probed further, he also said that when he met RGV, he never told him that his character was based on anyone. In the film, he is not related to the Nagre family, though his grandfather (played by Dilip Prabhavalkar) was Nagre's guru in politics. His character is very intense and yes, it has problems with the Nagre family.
However it is also rumored that just like Raj has problems with Uddhav, even Somji's character has differences with Abhishek's character of Shankar in the film. However, Rajesh refused to reveal more.
