From Raavan to Ra.One , eyes are set on SRK's film now

The most anticipated 'Ra.One' is on its way to box office after the big flop of 'Raavan'. This year two similar sounding titles 'Raavan' and 'Ra.One' are likely to be two big-budget films. Now the expectation is on Ra.One to be the big hit in Bollywood as the other one could not.

'Raavan' was co-produced by Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies at a budget of 450 million rupees and the movie was released simultaneously on 2,200 screens worldwide in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions.

It opened with an average opening and was soon relegated to the ranks of also ran. As per the figure disclosed by the distributors, on the opening day worldwide, it could gross 200 million rupees and the first weekend worldwide gross collection was 530 million rupees.

Now all the eyes are on King Khan's home production Ra.1. A whopping amount of 300 million rupees is riding on SRk's shoulders. The buzz in the trade is that Reliance Big Pictures has bought the rights of SRK's Don2 from Excel Entertainment for 1,250 million rupees and it is also heard that Eros International has bought Shah Rukh's home production 'Ra.One' for a whopping 1,750 million rupees.

'Ra.One' is reported to have a budget of 1,000 million rupees, making it the second-most expensive film in India, after Blue, and equaling the record of ''.My name Is Khan'.

'Ra.One' istars Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in key roles. Shah Rukh Khan plays a famous scientist in the film, based in London and works on developing a robot.

In a twitter message, the star said, "Ra.One means random access version one, will understand when you see the film. Ra.1 site will be up soon/have no film with Kajol or Yashji right now/don't dance too well, I just try hard/I am the hero in Ra.1." 

The two movies 'Raavan' and 'Ra.One' are two different as chalk and cheese when it comes to their plotlines.
While Mani's Raavan is a modern-day adaptation of the mythological epic Ramayan, SRK's flick is a highly stylise film with a lot of techniques and gadgets.

Though 'Raavan' failed to do well in the box office , 'Ra.One' is riding high on expectations.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes.

"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...
