Shah Rukh Khan says he had approached his friends Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra to direct his mega-budget ‘Ra.One’, but they chickened out. “I went to all directors to make this film and even my own friends like Karan or Aditya. They all are ‘lallu’ (idiots) I say. I wanted to do something more than a romantic comedy,” Shah Rukh told his friend, actress Preity Zinta, on a TV Show.
The 45-year-old, who plays a superhero in the film which is releasing Oct 26, is hoping for positive things for the project. It is directed by Anubhav Sinha. “I have been informed that I am officially broke and ‘Ra.One’ has turned out to be one of the most expensive films. If this film does well, it will go down the history and will be remembered. I am glad I have bought something to India which has never been seen before… I am very inspired by ‘Krrish’ and ‘Drona’,” he said.
