Update: Well, I spoke too soon. Just read that the film got pushed back to October, because of more time needed to work on the special effects. OK, so it’s now my most anticipated film of the fall season!

It ain’t TRANSFORMERS 3, THOR, or SUPER 8 (well, okay I’m actually looking forward to checking that one out). No, it’s Indian superstar Shahrukh Khan’s sci-fi actioner RA.ONE! It is purportedly the biggest budget Bollywood film of all time. Not much details have been released, but a 10 second teaser has just been leaked on Youtube:
No idea what the story is about but it looks like Shahrukh Khan, or SRK to his legions of fans, is some kind of sci-fi superhero and his love interest is the incomparable Kareena Kapoor. This is her:

“Hello, nurse!!!” The film is going to have Hollywood FX firms creating the elaborate special effects and Hans Zimmer involved in producing the music score. I surely hope this film is good. So good, that it could exceed this greatest action scene ever from the film MAGADHEERA:
Or this one from ENDHIRAN co-starring Aishwarya Rai:
(sorry, badly dubbed in Russian, I think)





It looks fantastic–new trailer here:

Whenever it comes out I’ll be there.
Looks like ENDHIRAN’s reign as biggest budget Bollywood film isn’t lasting too long…
just because they bought all the 3rd party AE plugins, doesn’t mean they have to recoup their costs all at once and throw all the effects into one movie.
