"SRK and I were clear about 'Ra. One'" - Anubhav

Ever since 'Ra. One' went on floors, there have been countless conversations around ton loads of VFX that would be seen in the film, the sheer scale of the film, it's huge budget that is in excess of 100 crores and Shahrukh Khan's desire of making 'Ra. One' as the biggest film ever that has come out of India.

With so much talk about going 'big', one does feel a tad apprehensive that would 'Ra. One' stay on to be an out and out VFX affair or would there be actual content in the story that would be doing the talking as well?

"I am glad you asked this because I want to set things clear here," says Anubhav Sinha, the film's director, "Between me and Shahrukh, we have been clear right through the film's making that 'Ra. One' is the story of a father and his son. VFX and superhero fallback is just a medium of telling that story."

On being asked to elaborate, Anubhav draws a parallel here.

"Let me explain it this way," he begins, "See, when you are cooking a dish, you could serve it in a bowl with gold, silver or diamond cutlery. Still, at the end of it all, it remains a dish. This is how 'Ra. One' is; it is a dish made of a beautiful father-son story; everything else is a way we are presenting this dish."

Well Anubhav, we hope the dish is good enough that mandates a second helping as well.
