Who's in it? Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt
The plot Certainly one of the most hotly anticipated Bollywood movies of the year (if not, of all time!), and definitely the most expensive film ever to come out of B-town, Shah Rukh Khan's ambitious Ra.One sees the superstar slip into a skintight costume to emerge as the superhero, G One, who by day goes by the name of Shekhar Subramanium and toils away in the slightly less glamorous role of a video game programmer.
Creating a video game he hopes will become popular with kids - his listless and unimpressed-by-dad son in particular - and which involves the player donning a full body suit for total video game immersion, after a power surge, the game comes to life, unleashing the evil villain previously relegated to the software, Ra.One (Rampal), who heads off on a path of destruction.
Realising that the game has given him an array of super powers, Shekhar, as G One, soon steps up to the plate to battle the baddies - including Sanjay Dutt in a special appearance, who has revealed, "I'm doing a cameo where Shah Rukh and I will be fighting against each other." But as he saves the world, G One also falls in love all over again with his wife, Sonia (Kapoor), and pretty soon, Sonia's in a whole 3D world of trouble.
"What I want everybody to know is that it's a very simple film," says SRK. "The wife, the little boy, the villain and G One. The whole film is fraught with fun and frolic." Adding, "I want to be the first guy to make a Hindi film which the whole world watches."
Trust us, King Khan, we think you'll do just that!
