Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of bollywood who roped in reputed rap singer Akon to sing a number in his upcoming home production 'RA 1', has decided to cast the Senegalese singer in one of the important roles in the film.
In fact, Shah Rukh Khan and Akon discussed the final contours of his character at the recently hosted party at Marriott. Presently, Akon is in Mumbai on SRK's invitation and has been staying in the city as his valued guest. Sources say that it was in this connection that Shah Rukh arranged a big bash at Marriott to honor the guest.
The major part of the shoot for this film will take place in Miami, USA, as Shah Rukh plays a US based scientist Shekhar in the film. Director Anubhav Sinha has planned the flick on a big scale and special effects team has been hired from Hollywood. As the story of the film has been written by David Benullo of 'Shadow Man' fame and choreography by Ueli Steiger of 'The Maiden Heist' fame, the movie will have a huge budget and big canvas on the celluloid.
It may be recalled that the film requires heavy duty action sequences from Shah Rukh Khan and that was the reason for the postponement of the film for so long. Bu now when he is finally fit, the Khan is ready to start shooting for the film.
Even the fracas between Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan happened due to this film. While Shah Rukh Khan wanted to start his film 'Ra 1', Farah Khan wanted him for her new project 'Happy New year.' when SRK did not relent, Farah moved on and cast Akshay Kumar in her upcoming flick 'Tees Maar Khan'.

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Ra 1' also includes Kareena Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi in pivotal roles. However, gorgeous Kareena Kapoor will have to be contented with wearing sari and doing home work this time as she enacts the character of Shah Rukh Khan's wife in their film.
On the other hand, Vivek Oberoi plays Shah Rukh Khan's friend in the film. Shah Rukh is a software engineer who is destined to fight his own created monster. This monster somewhat resembles the devil king of Hindu mythology Ravan with ten heads, and hence the name of the film is 'Ra 1', rhyming comes very close to 'Raavan'.
