Ra1 will be based in Miami and Hollywood crew will being used for the film. Cinematography is by Ueli Steiger ("The Maiden Heist"), while David Benullo ("Shadow Man") is screenwriter. According to the buzz, Jackie will play the role of a scientist who helps Shah Rukh fight off the bad guys. A source says, "They are hoping Jackie agrees to be part of the film. The production house has sent him a detailed script with the action scenes and a brief synopsis of his character.

Best in the business
Shah Rukh's son Aryan is a huge fan of action movies and Ra1 is being made keeping in mind what kids his age want to see in a film of this genre. Since Jackie is the best in the business when it comes to performing and executing fight scenes involving martial arts, they want to have him on this film."

Chan has worked with Mallika Sherawat in the 2005 release The Myth. However, over the years, the actor has become extremely choosy about his work. His last release -- The Spy Next Door that opened to mixed reviews and didn't do good business at the box-office.  

Anubhav Sinha refused to comment on the development.
