SRK confirms he will make ‘Ra.One’ sequel

SRK Ra.One 340x

Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Ra.One’ (2011) was his first as a superhero and it all the effects were done by his own talent at Red Chillies Entertainment. Although the film wasn’t as appreciated two years ago as it perhaps might have been if released now, the actor-producer has confirmed that he plans to make a sequel.

Khan told Deccan Chronicle, “Business wise the film wasn�۪t bad. We did huge numbers ��� I think we had the biggest weekend then. The release was also fantastic. But I was a little taken aback by the negativity. It was strange, like how when KKR wasn�۪t doing well and people had become very negative. The same happened during Ra.One. And I don�۪t think it was the audience that was negative, it was the people from the industry who were pulling the film down”.

He went on to say that he knew of the challenges of trying something new, “���When you try new things, you have to be prepared for failure. I believe it is better to fail trying something new than succeed doing run-of-the-mill. But in business, you need to ensure that you have a bankable commercial film, which we did in the case of Ra.One”.

Talking about taking the franchise forward, Khan commented, “I will 100 per cent make the sequel. There are no two ways about it. By nature I am not someone to give up on a dream ��� be it KKR or Ra.One. Of course we will make it better now, because we have five more years of amazing experience in technology. I think we are the only ones who have it in this country. Inshaallah, we will figure a story and I will speak to Anubhav Sinha again. The film will be called G.One. It requires planning and today we have a good set up”.

The VFX which will be seen in ‘Fan’ is also what his own company have done and he said he feels proud, “What we have done in Fan, it is going to take us 20 notches higher. We are on a wholly different level and I know that and I am proud of it”.
