Sarkar was premiered at the New York Asian Film Festival. The film is preserved at the American Academy of Motion Pictures library. Sarkar's director Ram Gopal Varma was deeply influenced by the Francis Ford Coppola's Hollywood classic The Godfather (1972). He picked some aspects of story of The Godfather and added them to Sarkar's script, and also changed the film's setting to modern-day Mumbai. A Telugu remake, titled Rowdy was made replacing the background of Marathi politics with that of South Indian factionism. Veteran actor Mohan Babu reprised the role portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan while his son Vishnu Manchu reprised the role played by Abhishek Bachchan.
