'I wear a heart'

Shah Rukh's favourite line in Ra.One has been penned by Kanika Dhillon, one of the screenplay and dialogue writers of his superhero film,



Shah Rukh Khan's favourite line in his film Ra.One is: "Some superheroes wear a mask, this one wears a heart."

This thought has been penned by Kanika Dhillon, one of the screenplay and dialogue writers of Ra.One. SRK, who is currently shooting for the film in London, plays the role of a superhero called G.One.

On a microblogging site SRK states: "My favourite written thought by Kanika in the context to G.One is... most superheroes wear a mask...I wear a heart."

Kanika says, "It was instinctive given SRK's larger-than-life persona and a huge heart. There was no other suitable line that came to my mind."

Apart from writing for Shah Rukh Khan's film, Kanika is also turning author with her first book Bombay Duck Is A Fish.

The young writer finds SRK a big source of inspiration. "He is a superhero both in reel and real life. I always wanted to begin writing for Bollywood with him and he gave me a chance."

Working on the star's production, which is directed by Anubhav Sinha, has been a fantastic learning experience for her.

Kanika has also co-written the screenplay for Roshan Abbas' directorial debut Always Kabhie Kabhie, and Ishaan, a musical show for Disney.

Apart from writing for the film, Kanika is also turning author with her first book Bombay Duck Is A Fish. "It's about finding love and spirituality and finding your true self in a very unlikely place called Bollywood."

Kanika, who has done her MSc in media and communications from the London School of Economics, feels writing a book is a different journey altogether.

"Writing a book is more opinionated than screenplay or dialogue writing.

There is only one voice that resonates in a book, but screenplay and dialogue in a film is a team effort where many visions and opinions are amalgamated into a cohesive format."
