Every Father Wants to be a Hero to His Son

Shahrukh Khan says that his superhero movie Ra.One is really a family movie – and that he wants it to be especially appealing to fathers with sons. As a father himself, SRK made the type of movie he would like to see, and he hopes fathers all over India agree.
The superstar said,

“I play a very genuine South Indian character in the movie. I’ve been thinking about the poster of the movie and I think the film can be put in one line as ‘Every father wants to be a hero to his son’.”

Shahrukh also says that he tried to keep the story simple, with real situations and dialogue. And while he has revealed very little of the movie’s plot, he did explain that the real underpinning of the story is the subtext that focuses on the family of the main character.

“Kareena (Kapoor) is my wife… we have a kid and we are a regular family – there is a lot of comedy, happiness and bonding, until all hell breaks loose. And then, there is action, which you hopefully have never seen before, at least in an Indian movie.”

The plot buzz online says that G.One, SRK’s character in the film, has a difficult relationship with his son, who doesn’t think much of his dad. In an attempt to prove himself to his son he enters the world of this son’s favorite video game, perhaps in the same way the characters enter the video game in Tron. When SRK attempts to defeat the villain in the game, the action really gets going.
And since SRK decided to do many of the film’s dangerous stunts himself, his own son should be delighted at his dad’s superhero persona!
