    Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the most challenging driving lesson of his life. He will be taught how to drive one of the world's fastest production cars, the Volkswagen Bugatti, for his forthcoming film Ra.One. Yes, knowing how to drive isn't enough; you need special lessons for driving this mean machine. And knowing that SRK is a perfectionist, the teaching session is sure to last a while. 
    The title of the film Ra.One, which is SRK's most ambitious project till date, is short for 
"Random Access Version One". Shah Rukh plays a superhero called G.One and drives a super fast car. And Shah Rukh would have to perform several different stunts while driving this vehicle. 
    A source from the crew of the film confirms that the decision to drive the Volkswagen Bugatti was Shah Rukh's. "Shah Rukh is taking most of the decisions on Ra.One by himself." 
    The itinerary is in place. The source says, "A team of technicians from The Pirates Of The Caribbean crew is being flown down, to teach Shah Rukh how to drive the car with 
ease. When you are zipping at a top speed of 407 kilometres per hour your mind cannot afford to drift. Your concentration needs to be at its best," add the source. 
    Currently, Shah Rukh is busy holidaying with his family, we are told. "He will be taking his family to South Africa for the FIFA final. From there, he plans to go straight to London for the next schedule of Ra.One. It is in this schedule that most of the portions using the Volkswagen Bugatti would be shot. As soon as he reaches London, the experts will commence the driving lessons," says the source.

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...
