POINT OF VIEW
“I really want my kids to like ‘Ra One’”
His magnum opus ‘Ra One’ is on its way to completion.
While the trade is busy speculating the economics of the
film and its extraordinary special effects, Shah Rukh Khan
is not worried.
“R
a One’ is heartwarming
and sweet. For me, this
would’ve worked even
without the special effects. I’m
making this film for my kids and
their friends. The last film of mind
they liked was ‘Chak De! India. And
I really want them to like this film
too. Every time I saw a movie like ‘Krissh’
or ‘Drona’ or any other foreign super hero
film, I wished I could’ve made something
like that for my kids. I really hope my kids
and other kids like this film.
“This is a film according to my
sensibilities. Most people and friends
who’ve seen the rushes have been
surprised. My wife and I saw Spider-Man
with the kids. The kids loved it and wanted
