Shah Rukh Khan’s sci fi offering ‘Ra.One’ is 80 percent canned… and yet SRK has pushed the panic button now, courtesy ‘Robot’.
Rajinikanth’ super winner is raking in the lolly and SRK who’s all ambitious about making ‘Ra.One’ a class apart, wants to devise strategies that will raise the bar to notch it far above… ‘Robot’.
Reportedly, SRK summoned a top drawer SOS meeting at ‘Mannat’ which included director Anubhav Sinha and sound designer Resul Pookutty, among others…. and post a round of serious brain storming, a game plan has emerged.
A gaming one, rather! Highly placed close sources gleefully squealed and spilled the beans.
Reveals an insider, “The climax of ‘Ra.One’ will actually allow the audiences to play the ‘Ra.One’ in theatres even as they watch the film. This kind of interactive participation has never been done before in any part of the world! SRK feels that ‘Robot’ worked so well because it combined special effects with drama and emotions so well.”
States Pookutty in a media quote, “The challenge with ‘Ra.One’ is to create a balance between the two distinctly different worlds of gaming and movies. We’ve come up with a whole new set of strategies to make ‘Ra.One’ different from all the other super hero films.”
Besides, word has it that SRK is all set to usher in Martin Welsh, the editor of ‘Chicago’ to confer ‘Ra.One’ with his cutting edge skills.
Asserts the source, “SRK feels that more than ‘Avatar’, it was ‘Chicago’ which was closer to the pulse of a Bollywood drama. So, he’s very keen on getting in Welsh for his film, which already has a number of top foreign technicians working on it.”
