Cape-ital concern for "G.One" in Film "Ra.One".



Shah Rukh ponders over adding a cape to his "RA-One" superhero costume

To cape Shah Rukh Khan or not, seems to be of more importance than saving the world for the RA.One unit for now.

SRK plays a superhero called G.One fighting Arjun Rampal who plays the villain in the film.

The world's most popular superheroes sport capes (read: Superman and Batman). Khan realises this and is toying with the idea of adding one to his costume.

Reveals a source, "He will wear a blue suit. It's a shade that's a little different than the blue Superman wears.

However, Shah Rukh hasn't decided if the suit should have a cape, just yet. In all probability, that decision will be taken at the last minute."

If the superstar does decide to go with the cape, it will be added digitally. Adds our source, "The cape will be fixed on by the VFX team at a later stage.

The body suit will enhance SRK's muscles and his lean torso. It's made to fit to his frame."

Why Capes?
While a vast majority of superheroes do not wear capes, the garment is still closely associated with them, likely because two of the most widely-recognised superheroes, Batman and Superman, wear capes. In fact, police officers in Batman's home of Gotham City have used the word 'cape' as a shorthand for all superheroes and costumed crimefighters.
