No Jackie Chan in Shahrukh Khan’s Sci-Fi Film 'Ra.One'

Speculations were rife that Jackie Chan has been approached for a role in Shahrukh Khan’s first sci-fi film Ra.One. But now it’s confirmed that the Chinese-American actor Tom Wu is going to be part of the film, and not Jackie Chan.

For those who don’t know Tom Wu, he is a martial arts expert, who was earlier seen in films like Revolver, Shanghai Knights, Batman Begins and Tomb Raider II.

Welcoming the actor to his team SRK tweets, “...a big welcome to Tom Wu in the film cast. He is so humble and such a sport... really nice to have him on board.”

As for now, SRK is not in India but in London busy with the ‘Ra.One’ shoot and also down with cold and fever. “Throat feeling better now... can go on the sets and make some noise to feel important hopefully,” scribbles Khan on his Twitter page.

The movie also features Arjun Rampal, who has even gone bald for his role, while actress Kareena Kapoor plays SRK’s love interest.

No Jackie Chan in Ra.One: SRK

There were recent reports in the media that Jackie Chan would be making his Bollywood debut in Shah Rukh Khan superhero film, Ra.One. However, Shah Rukh Khan has said that Jackie will not be a part of his film.

“No Jackie Chan in Ra. One. That’s final now,” Shah Rukh Khan posted on twitter.

International musician Akon has sung a song in the film.

Shah Rukh wrote, “Akon song in the film. May do video later. Don’t know. We have international VFX team working with our own.”

The actor also wrote that he would be performing his own stunts in the film.

“Like to do my stunts…It’s scary but I do them. I am just a regular guy doing an irregular job…so no reason not to be grounded.”

Ra.One, which also stars Kareena Kapoor, is being directed by Anubhav Sinha. Shah Rukh Khan is producing it under his home production Red Chillies Entertainment.

Jackie Chan might make his Bollywood debut with SRK's Ra1

If Shah Rukh has his way, Jackie might make B-Town debut in Ra1

Martial arts legend Jackie Chan will make his Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh's Ra1. Sources from Red Chillies reveal they are in talks with Chan for the superhero action film.

If Chan comes on board, expect to see major action scenes featuring him and SRK in the action-thriller directed by Anubhav Sinha.

Ra1 will be based in Miami and Hollywood crew will being used for the film. Cinematography is by Ueli Steiger ("The Maiden Heist"), while David Benullo ("Shadow Man") is screenwriter. According to the buzz, Jackie will play the role of a scientist who helps Shah Rukh fight off the bad guys. A source says, "They are hoping Jackie agrees to be part of the film. The production house has sent him a detailed script with the action scenes and a brief synopsis of his character.

Shah Rukh's son Aryan is a huge fan of action movies and Ra1 is being made keeping in mind what kids his age want to see in a film of this genre. Since Jackie is the best in the business when it comes to performing and executing fight scenes involving martial arts, they want to have him on this film."

Chan has worked with Mallika Sherawat in the 2005 release The Myth. However, over the years, the actor has become extremely choosy about his work. His last release -- The Spy Next Door that opened to mixed reviews and didn't do good business at the box-office.

Anubhav Sinha refused to comment on the development.
