Q. We have seen many films on corruption. How is 'Gabbar Is Back' different?
A. First, it is a collection of real life incidents that A R Murgadoss has weaved together and written into a story. Secondly, it is the story of a common man who gets terribly affected by corruption in his everyday life and when it starts impacting his family, he turns violent. Violence might be the right thing or wrong thing, but the fact is when you push a common man too far, and when he reaches that point where he doesn’t care about the consequences, he can get really dangerous. That’s the point where he has nothing to lose. Ninety five per cent of us have had to give up on our dreams because of the rampant corruption in our country.
