SRK-Bebo come together in Ra 1

After being was paired with Shah Rukh Khan in Ashoka, Bebo was completely smitten by the actor’s charisma. even though the film didn’t do well, they remained fast friends after that and Kareena readily did item songs for both Don and Billu. Now finally, the two of them will be coming together again in SRK’s next ambitious project Ra 1.
The sci-fi fantasy will be directed by Anubhav Sinha (of Tum Bin and Dus fame). It’s been in the pre-production stages for a while, but is expected to go on the floors early next year. Our source said, “SRK’s always wanted to do a science fiction film, which is why he was keen on doing the film Robot with south director Shanker. However things did not work out between them. Now he’s incorporated many of the creative ideas that he had given Shanker into Ra 1 where he will be seen in a larger-than-life role of a superhero. Kareena will play his love interest, and the two stars’ dates have already been finalised.”
Ra 1 will have loads of special effects and some portions of the film will also be animated. The budget for SFX alone is said to be more than Rs 25 crore.
Ravichandran is renowned for his penchant for introducing top heroines from other languages to Kannada films, like Juhi Chawla (Premloka) , Khushboo (Randheera), Poonam Dhillon (Yuddhakanda), and more recently Namitha (in Neelakanta and Hoo).
When contacted by this newspaper, Ravichandran admitted that they had approached Nayanthara, but was reluctant to disclose the amount which had been offered to her. “The story demands a star like Nayanthara and I am confident that she will definitely accept once she hears the script,” declared an upbeat Ravi.
It’s over to Nayanthara now!
