We guess he's called King Khan for a reason. Everything about superstar Shah Rukh Khan's next film Ra.One, which is touted to be one of the most expensive Hindi films ever, is being described as 'king size', be it action, music or budget.
And just when the media was digesting news that his superhero rubber suit in the movie will cost Rs 1 crore, SRK clarifies the real cost of the suit is much, much more. Says Khan, "I keep reading in the papers that my costume is a million rupee costume. But it's actually a million dollar costume — that's four-and-a-half crore rupees per costume. And there's not one costume, there are 20 such!"
That puts the cost of just the costumes of the movie at Rs 100 crore, which reads like an unlikely figure. Khan carelessly adds that he was just talking about his character, G One's costumes. "There are costumes for Ra.One's
Khan also goes on to liken his costumes to that of Spiderman, "Like the Spiderman suit, my costumes are specialised. They are not for style – you can't wear them to parties. But yeah, you could probably wear G.One's designer T-shirts."
But when asked about the budget of the movie, Khan plays it down by shifting focus instead on to the 'simple' story of the movie, "Ra.One is a very real film, although it is in the genre of superhero-meets-genie in a bottle. I have tried not to keep it over-the-top or too 'dialoguey'. It has real situations and authentic dialogue."
Although he remains tight-lipped about the exact storyline of the movie, Khan gives us a sneak peak, "I play a very genuine South Indian character in the movie. I've been thinking about the poster of the movie and I think the film can be put in one line as 'Every father wants to be a hero to his son'.
"So even though the film is about a superhero, it is also a family film," he insists. "Kareena (Kapoor) is my wife in the movie, we have a kid and we are a regular family – there is a lot of comedy, happiness and bonding, until all hell breaks loose. And then, there is action, which you hopefully have never seen before, at least in an Indian movie." We will soon find out. character too!"
