Robot’s success pushes SRK’s panic buttons, SRK's "Ra.One" have to cross all,

In the wake of Rajni's blockbuster, King Khan called for a day-long meeting with the RA.One team, deciding to make it the first-ever interactive gaming flick.

The spectacular success of Rajnikanth's Robot has made Shah Rukh Khan and his team of RA.One sit up and become doubly alert about their pet project.

An SOS meeting was summoned at Mannat on Sunday. Those present at the meeting included director Anubhav Sinha, sound recordist Resul Pookutty and producer Shah Rukh.

After viewing the rushes, a number of vital strategic ideas were devised, following a heated debate, after which everyone let their hair down at a Bandra bar. The most startling resolution during the day-long meeting was to convert RA.One into a full-fledged gaming movie. Sound designer Resul Pookutty says, "The challenge with RA.One is to create a balance between the two distinctly different worlds of gaming and movies.

We met at Shah Rukh's home on Sunday and watched the film. And yes, we've come up with a number of strategies to make RA.One different from all other super-hero films."

Says a source, "The climax of the film will actually allow audiences to play the RA.One game in theatres as they watch the film. This kind of participative cinema has never been done before in any part of the world." We can't wait to push the right buttons.

It has also been decided that a super-hero film without the drama and emotions won't appeal to Indian audiences. Says the source, "Shah Rukh feels Robot worked so well because it combines special effects with emotions and drama. In RA.One he wants the spectacle and the emotions in equal measures." Shah Rukh has invited Martin Walsh, the editor of Rob Marshal's musical feature film Chicago, to edit RA.One. Says the source, "The choice was between the editor of Avatar and Chicago. Shah Rukh has chosen the latter because he feels Chicago is closer to the pulse of a Bollywood drama than Avatar."

RA.One is 80 per cent complete. The remaining 20 per cent would be completed only when Shah Rukh is sure that James Cameron's Avatar and not Shankar's Robot is given a run for its money. Beep, beep. Game Over.
