Raja Sir in Shah Rukh Khan movie Is the Bollywood Badshah ready with his reply to Super Star’s ‘Robo’? The first look of Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious project ‘Ra.One’ is out. It is interesting to recall the genesis of ‘Endhiran ’ to know Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Ra.One’ better. You all knew director Shankar first went to SRK with the ‘Endhiran ’ concept and when he fell out with SRK over ‘creative differences’ in filming the sci-fi flick, our Super Star stepped in and saved the project. ‘What ‘Endhiran ’ did to Indian cinema is now folklore. At that time Shah Rukh Khan had announced a similar project and that has taken shape now and ready to hit the marquee this year. Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal play the central characters in the film. Ra.One means ‘Random Access - Version 1.0’. Much like the ‘Endhiran ’, SRK’s 'Ra.One' is also about Robots behaving like humans and has "breathtaking" visual effects. 'Ra.One' is also about good versus evil. According to sources, Shah Rukh will be seen in a double role in the film. One of his characters is that of a scientist who creates two robots - the good robot G.One (SRK) and the bad one Ra.One (Arjun Rampal). When ‘Endhiran ’ released last year, the entire Indian film industry was in awe and the Bollywood started talking about ‘Ra.One’. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, ‘Ra.One’ has music by Vishal and Shekhar along with music maestro Ilaiyaraja. Now that ‘Endhiran’ has spawned the first clone, will it behave better than ‘Endhiran’? Shah Rukh Khan has produced the film himself under his home banner Red Chillies Entertainment, ‘Ra.One’ is marked as Diwali release. ‘Endhiran’ or ‘Ra.One’? Rajinikant or Shah Rukh Khan? Can’t wait till Diwali. Playback singer Sukhwinder Singh has recorded a song to be lip-synched by Shah Rukh Khan in Ra.One. This is Singh’s third song for Khan in 13 years. Chaiyya chaiyya (Dil Se..) and Haule haule (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi) were chartbusters. Would related stories * ‘Chaiyyan chaiyyan gave me the first big break in Bollywood’ * SRK high on Ra.One * Rs 300 crore riding on SRK this song hit high notes too? “I’m not an astrologer, so I can’t predict that. With my experience as a playback singer for the last 15-16 years, I know that this song, like the previous two, matches Shah Rukh’s personality and might become synonymous with Ra.One,� asserts Singh. The song has been composed by South stalwart Ilayaraja. “It’s the first time in my career that I recorded a song for nine hours, non-stop. The song is worth our effort because it sounds fresh and different from the work I’ve done lately. It’s quite subdued,� Singh adds. Sukhwinder SinghSporting encounter Singh also recorded the title track for Chak De! India, which featured Shah Rukh Khan but he didn’t lip-sync it. The playback singer is not disappointed. “The song was filmed in such a way that it still had Shah Rukh’s energy and the enthusiasm of the girls in the hockey team. It was their anthem. Had it been picturised only on Shah Rukh, it wouldn’t have translated well on screen and the country-wide impact the song made would have been lost,� explains Singh. So, which South stalwart does he prefer: Oscar-winner AR Rahman or Ilayaraja? Singh answers diplomatically, “It’s unfair to compare their style of working or their compositions. I’ve worked closely with Rahman and he hasn’t changed as a person and professional. Ilayaraja is someone I learnt tremendously from in the course of this song.� http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/62753.html http://www.hindustantimes.com/Sukhwinder-sings-for-SRK/Artic le1-582118.aspx |
