After the huge success of Thuppakki and Kaththi, director AR Murugadoss and Vijay have teamed up again for Sarkar. The film is an intense political drama that is based on recent political developments including the Tamil Nadu chief minister’s death.
The music of Sarkar has been composed by AR Rahman. The songs of the film are already a hit.
Produced by Sun Pictures, the movie also stars Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Yogi Babu and Radha Ravi among others.

Suresh, a city based engineer who had come with his friends for the 4:30 am show, said, "Sarkar was one step above Mersal, and will be a sure shot success. No Diwali is complete without a Vijay film."

Fans are screaming thalaiva thalaiva. They have been bursting crackers outside. Huge hoardings of Vijay are seen all over. It is drizzling and despite all this, the crowd is crazy.
Rohini Theatre in Koyambedu and GK Cinemas in Porur were two cinema halls that had an early morning show of Sarkar. They had a show at 4.30 am, which was houseful.
