The King's Ravan

Shah Rukh Khan is the latest to enter the animated films bandwagon. After Yash Raj, Dharma Productions and Pritish Nandy Communications, Shah Rukh Khan is set to make an animated film.

He has roped in Anubhav Sinha to make Ravan, a film based on the mythological character of Ravana.

Says a source, "SRK is will make a children's film with Anubhav Sinha. The film, titled Ravan, will be based on Ravana from Ramayana. The producer and director are in advanced talks over this project and the script is being finalised too.

The film will be a rather unusual one as it is being planned on a lavish scale."

Our source adds, "SRK is always keen to use the latest technology and newer methods in filmmaking, and this will be a magnum opus project churned out by his production and his visual effects studio."

When contacted, Bobby Chawla of Red Chillies Entertainment, said, "Yes, Shah Rukh is planning a film with Anubhav Sinha and the script is being worked out right now. It is too early to discuss the project."

SRK's film will be made entirely in his own studios. Says our source, "SRK's special effects studio has a state-of-the-art VFX studio and a great team of artistes and technicians. He is taking personal interest in the process of making Ravan."
