Shahrukh Khan in Ra-One

Ra-One[1] is Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming Hindi movie. Shahrukh Khan has the value of quoin in Ra-One[2]. It should be clear at the very outset that Shahrukh is not only playing the leading male role in this movie rather he is present in every aspect of this movie. The movie is set to release on 26th October 2011[3]. He lends a hand to David Banullo in its play script. It is Shahrukh’s dream to produce a sci-fi movie of International level. There are many sci-fi movies treated by other producers in Bollywood cinema but they are unable to reserve a place in audience memory and all are basically capturing the audience belongs to early age. All these are childish films but this time Shahrukh is claiming that Ra-One is movie for children but not childish.

 

The story is about Jeevan who is a software engineer and crazy to become a superhero who could do everything to save humanity. Ra-One is, basically, a video game ‘Random Access / Version One’ designed by Jeevan. He is himself in the game with the fictional name G-One, a superhero sets out to save mankind from the terror activities of Ra-One. Parallel to this main plot there is sub plot in which Shahrukh is acting as a protective father of his child together they fought against Ra-One to destroy him. This sub plot translate the main plot into humanize way that Life on earth is becoming dangerous and there should be some super power (high determination) to save it. This is the basic theme behind the Ra-One.

 

Shahrukh is not only a super hero in this film but also shows some romance with his super power nature. Although he has transformed into G-One for the sake of humanity yet his heart is working and during an expedition he falls in love with a beautiful girl (Kareena Kapoor). There are some intimate scenes between the two and of course songs to nourish and flourish love between them. The role of Kareena Kapoor does the work of equalizer between the tussle of Ra-One and G-One.

 

The important information about this upcoming movie is that Shahrukh is the producer of this film as well. As a producer he is busy day and night to make this film hit on the Box Office. He hires an experienced Hollywood crew for motion-picture photography to make this film on international level. Stunt shows and daring feats by Shahrukh excite the audience who love Shahrukh as a hero already. Let’s see what would be the result acting as fictional superhero? Would he be able to become real famous in this role? Shahrukh’s expectation level is high and his hard work is visible in promos and trailers.

Shahrukh Khan introduces English music by the hip hop star Akon[4] and this will surely increases the market value of this film. Shahrukh Khan is sensible enough to consider the commercial aspects of film. He invited Akon to India for his film promo in the press release. Akon has sung the title track of this movie which matches with the theme of film surely will do the job of interpreting the theme of film. It is in the news that television broadcasting rights of the movie are sold of more than 40 crore[5] Indian Rupess that is highest in the history of Bollywood.
