Shah Rukh Khan and Anubhav Sinha are no more paying any heed to charges of similarities between 'Ra. One' and 'Robot'. Shrugging away all the accusations, in the current set of promos they have even retained shots from certain portions of 'Ra. One' which gave hint of 'Robot' (for example the famous train sequence)
Though the sequence may turn out to have a different context to it, what is surprising is to see Shah Rukh Khan and Anubhav Sinha being nonchalant about it. This despite the fact that 'Robot' has been much seen and liked film which has managed such a cult status amongst it's audience that any similarity like this is bound to be immediately noticed.
"Guess it was all intentional to send out a strong message that 'Ra. One' wasn't worried about the comparison and was willing to take on detractors heads-on", comments a prominent filmmaker on condition of anonymity, "Shah Rukh doesn't seem to be worried about detractors. Otherwise why would he have included this shot when he had a mere 100 seconds to fill up for the teaser? He could have included anything else."
Tell Anubhav about the charge of copying, especially since 'Ra. One' would be arriving a year after 'Robot' and he fires away, "When you are making a film and end up realising that another released film already has a similar sequence, you do contemplate dropping you sequence if you are serving anything stale. But then we didn't even thing like that because we knew what we are making."
Continuing in his defence, Anubhav argues, "Also, for the records, let me state some more facts. We shot the entire train sequence last year in February while 'Robot' released later in October. Do I need to say more?"
