Revealed: SRK’s character in Ra.One

Shah Rukh Khan is super-excited about his next production Ra.One. Playing a superhero in the film, Khan has been planning for this movie for close to two years.

Director Anubhav Sinha has spent months after months trying to come up with "India's first superhero". Khan maintains that this film is for the kids all over the world and should, hopefully, go down well with them.

"My character is called Jeevan, and that character has what is called solid electricity. So, he can solidify electricity. It's a concept we are trying to work on and, hopefully, visually, it will be understandable too," says Khan.

Not ready to reveal too much at this stage, Khan tells us to expect the best in terms of visual effects, storyline and locales. "It's a superhero film, and I'm going to fly! And for you, I am going to wear the underwear over the tights!," he jokes.

The film stars Kareena Kapoor opposite Khan, as well as Arjun Rampal, who is rumoured to play the negative lead in the film.

Being produced by Khan's Red Chillies, the actor seems to have pulled out all stops to ensure that the film generates a lot of interest and curiosity.

"I can't give away much. We would like to phase in the explanation of the film because one of the problems we have with the film is the fact that it is of the superhero genre. Except for the wonderful Krrish and Drona, we haven't really seen too many superhero films in india. So, we will phase out, and every month, we will talk about the film," says the businessman in the actor.

And it's not just the cast and SRK's tights that are going to grab attention. SRK had American rapper Akon in Mumbai recently to record a track for the movie with his musicians Vishal and Shekhar. Ra.One goes on the floors soon and is expected to wrap up by August. It will be shot primarily in London.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
