SRK to do a musical!

Shah Rukh Khan is set to do a Broadway-style, big budget Indian musical, the second to be attempted here after the City of Dreams.

Plans to make SRK's musical global are also being contemplated. However, the Bollywood Badshah will only do a cameo which will have a crucial impact on the plot. The event management company that is making this musical said a full-fledged publicity plan is being devised cashing in on SRK's presence in the show as this is now its USP.

Getting Shah Rukh on board wasn't easy. Help of the Morani brothers, with whom the actor has worked for many years, was taken; a meeting set up, and SRK got into the nitty-gritty of the show. He took time to get convinced because he wanted to be sure that the project is actually big. Anticipations on his role are high. But as of now, everything is hush-hush.

SRK's suits in Ra.One worth a 100 crore

We guess he’s called King Khan for a reason. Everything about superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s next film Ra.One, which is touted to be one of the most expensive Hindi films ever, is being described as ‘king size’, be it action, music or budget.

And just when the media was digesting news that his superhero rubber suit in the movie will cost Rs 1 crore, SRK clarifies the real cost of the suit is much, much more. Says Khan, “I keep reading in the papers that my costume is a million rupee costume. But it’s actually a million dollar costume — that’s four-and-a-half crore rupees per costume. And there’s not one costume, there are 20 such!”

Ra.OneThat puts the cost of just the costumes of the movie at Rs 100 crore, which reads like an unlikely figure. Khan carelessly adds that he was just talking about his character, G One’s costumes. “There are costumes for Ra.One’s character too!”

Khan also goes on to liken his costumes to that of Spiderman, “Like the Spiderman suit, my costumes are specialised. They are not for style – you can’t wear them to parties. But yeah, you could probably wear G.One’s designer T-shirts."

But when asked about the budget of the movie, Khan plays it down by shifting focus instead on to the ‘simple’ story of the movie, “Ra.One is a very real film, although it is in the genre of superhero-meets-genie in a bottle. I have tried not to keep it over-the-top or too ‘dialoguey’. It has real situations and authentic dialogue.”

Although he remains tight-lipped about the exact storyline of the movie, Khan gives us a sneak peak, “I play a very genuine South Indian character in the movie. I’ve been thinking about the poster of the movie and I think the film can be put in one line as ‘Every father wants to be a hero to his son’.

“So even though the film is about a superhero, it is also a family film,” he insists. “Kareena (Kapoor) is my wife in the movie, we have a kid and we are a regular family – there is a lot of comedy, happiness and bonding, until all hell breaks loose. And then, there is action, which you hopefully have never seen before, at least in an Indian movie.” We will soon find out.

Shahrukh Khan appeals for peace

Shahrukh Khan has also expressed his concern over the issue of recent attacks lately in media. He along with others stars in Tinsel town have refused to celebrate Eid instead they are paying homage and appeal for peace.

SRK recently while addressing to media said that such movements hopefully change the scenario. Being a Muslim he said that Islam doesn’t allow anybody to kill innocent people.

Katrina Kaif, Irrfan Khan, Zayed Khan, Shabana Azmi, Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar would be wearing black arm bands.

SRK's weight loss woes

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan lost so much weight sweating in the body-hugging suit he was supposed to wear for the superhero film Ra.One that his wedding ring slipped from his finger.

King Khan's suit in the film is made of silicon and rubber.
