 Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai had a wonderful time in a village near Hyderabad while shooting for Sarkar Raj, finds Prithwish Ganguly. Want to know where Ash-Abhi went straight after their honeymoon at the sun kissed beaches of Tahiti? Well, they didn’t go to a temple, but straight to a village near Hyderabad to shoot for Sarkar Raj. But there’s something that they were not prepared for — the warm reception from the local villagers. The unit of Sarkar Raj, Ram Gopal Varma’s ambitious sequel to the hit gangster film Sarkar , had selected two villages Anjanpur and Polkam Palli (near Hyderabad) as the shooting sites for one of the most crucial scenes that involved both Abhishek and Aishwarya The villagers knew that the duo had come down to the sets immediately after their honeymoon and wanted to make their visit to the village a memorable one. “As soon as the villagers came to know that the couple had come from their honeymoon directly to the shoot, the old women of the village decided to host a welcome befitting a village bahu,” the source said. The newly weds were then invited to take part in the village ceremony generally hosted when a newly wed bahu comes back to the village after marriage. “They requested that the couple should join them in the village for a welcome ceremony too. The women sang traditional songs and gave Aishwarya green bangles and sindoor,” the source added. The Sarkar Raj sets were a kind of an extended honeymoon for the couple as the duo was seen constantly sticking to each other. Sarkar Raj is one of the most awaited films this year not only because Abhi-Ash comes on screen for the first time together after their marriage, but also because the film is one big Bachchan family affair with Amitabh Bachchan playing the role of the godfather.
