Anubhav needs Shah Rukh's consent

When you have Shah Rukh Khan in your film and a lot of money riding on it, it’s natural that expectations are high. Though Anubhav Sinha (director of Dus and Tum Bin) has taken on Shah Rukh’s home production Ra.One, he is apparently turning to Shah Rukh for approval after every take. This means that Shah Rukh is effectively calling the shots.

A source from the unit says, “After every shot, Anubhav looks at Shah Rukh for approval. Shah Rukh tries to look away a bit, not wanting to interfere. But Anubhav is too awed by Shah Rukh’s presence on the set. He doesn’t okay any scene until Shah Rukh says so. He calls Shah Rukh and says, ‘Sir, dekh lo, theek hai ya nahi’.”

We hear that Anubhav even asks Shah Rukh if he would like another take or not. “The number of takes in almost every scene depend on what Shah Rukh feels after he sees, or rather is made to see, the scene on the monitor,” adds the source.

We don’t know if Shah Rukh is enjoying this. But anyway, he probably isn’t complaining as Ra.One is his company’s most ambitious and expensive project till date.

Repeated calls and a text message to Anubhav were unanswered.
