Director Ram Gopal Varma, who was scheduled to begin filming 'Sarkar 4' in April, has now announced that he will be dropping the film because of 'Dhurandhar'. He said, "I don't think 'Sarkar' or any other gangster film will work anymore, not after 'Dhurandhar'. He stated that he'll be making 'Syndicate' instead, calling it his "most honest" work since 'Satya'.
