Yes, the Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan is coming up with the hot and sexy Kareena Kapoor (Bebo) as the lead characters in the superhero flick 'Ra1'.
Shahrukh will be playing a superhero in the science-fiction movie. Kareena will have a substantial role in the movie and her tall and lean structure means that she will be just the right person to play a super heroine. This the second time that the two cool stars will play the lead roles in the film together after Santosh Sivan's 'Asoka'.
After a long lapse of 10 years the movie Asoka failed at Box office, now the Shahrukh has become an even bigger star, and Kareena has become extremely popular. With a cast like that, the producers of Ra1 have ensured that their film will open to mega collections at least during the opening weekend. SRK is, after all, the biggest brand in India.
Moreover, Shahrukh and Kareena were seen in Billu Barber in an item song 'Marjaani' and also in an item song in movie Don. The duo was also seen in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
This movie is a super Hero flick and thus SRK will be seen wearing a cape, his underwear over his pants, flying over skyscrapers and saving the day. Ra1 is slated to be a hi-tech-sci-fi-action-adventure-superhero flick and will be directed by Anubhav Sinha (Tum Bin, Cash and Aap ko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai ). The film is to be produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment and Shahrukh has taken on scripting duties for the film as well.
SRK says, “It’s a special film for me. I want to put on my tights and my kids blanket on my back. I want to do this film for my children. I’ve always wanted to make a superhero film, but I never had six-pack abs. Now that I have them, I want to do this. It’s not an animation film, as many people believe; I would like to clarify that. It’s a live action film". The project would go on the floors by the end of this year. Taking approximately one year to complete 'Ra1' it is likely to be released by late 2011 to mid 2012.
