3 reasons why SRK picked Shahana Goswami for Ra.One

Shahrukh ‘King’ Khan is pretty pumped up about his next home production in which he dives into the superhero genre playing a superhero who can solidify electricity (an out of the box idea). And, as per the latest buzz, he has roped in the talented Shahana Goswami (who got noticed in ‘Rock On’) for a pivotal role of a video gamer. Here are the 5 reasons why SRK picked Shahana for the role:

1. Shahrukh and the director Anubhav Sinha were on the hunt for a young and vivacious maiden and Shahana fits the bill perfectly. “SRK and director Anubhav Sinha were looking for a young, cheerful girl to play SRK’s colleague. They were considering various names for the role, until they finally zeroed in on her. She is young, lively and suits the character to a T. She will be sporting a completely new look for the film.”

2. Secondly, Sahana is a relatively fresh face and hence, has an edge over the other over-exposed actresses. Plus, she, herself, is very gung ho about experimenting with different films.

3. A beautiful face is of no use until it is backed by a powerful performance. And Sahana has proved her mettle in films like ‘Rock On’ and ‘Firaaq’. Hence, Shahrukh had no qualms about casting her for the role of a videogame designer. After all, she is beauty with brains.
