RA.One: the most awaited film of 2011

On Day One of 2011, we surveyed a cross-section of distributors, exhibitors and trade analysts to arrive at the film that according to them deserves the tag of the most eagerly awaited film of the year. Predictably, it is Shah Rukh Khan's RA.One, closely followed by Reema Kagti's suspense thriller with Aamir Khan.

The curiosity surrounding RA.One is attributed to Shah Rukh's absence from cinemas after My Name Is Khan in February last year and the fact that it's one of this year's Diwali releases. Analyst Komal Nahta of Film Information explains, "The film has kept Shah Rukh on his toes. It's his most ambitious project so far and one of the most expensive films made in Bollywood. Heavy special effects and constant comparison with Robot have heightened expectations."

Director Kagti's second film has become the talk of the town because Aamir, apart from playing the lead, is also co-producing it. Suniel Wadhwa, a distributor from the Central Province, believes that the actor's entry in the suspense thriller genre has added to the trade's eagerness for the release of the project. "He has a reputation of delivering bigger hits in successive years. So, we're keeping our fingers crossed," he adds.

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
