Ra.one' has a tribute for Rajinikanth

Mumbai: Shahrukh Khan's most awaited film of the year, 'Ra.one' will pay tribute to southern superstar Rajnikanth, whose 'Endhiran', a 2010 Tamil science-fiction film, broke many box office records.

Reports of similarities between 'Endhiran' and 'Ra.one' have been surfacing since SRK's film went on the floors but the Bollywood actor claims that his release is different.

They ( Endhiran and Ra.one ) are different films and how to compare. Ours is a different film. I will not like to talk or claim about anyone else's film but Rajni sir is respectable to all of us. Actually, we have a tribute to Rajni sir in the film. We love him," Shahrukh told reporters here last night.

'Ra.One', a science-fiction superhero film directed by Anubhav Sinha, stars Shahrukh, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in lead roles. It also stars Shahana Goswami, Dilip Tahil and Chinese-American actor Tom Wu in supporting roles.

While 'Endhiran' directed by S Shankar featured Rajinikanth in dual roles, as a scientist and an android robot, alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Shahrukh said his film is indigenous and made in India.

"Everything you have seen is produced here we are proud of it and have done a great job. We have taken the technology forward and we should be proud of it," he said.

Besides, 'Ra.one' will also be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu for the southern audience.

"The film will be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. Dubbing for Tamil and Telugu is going on simultaneously. Also, we intend to dub the film in German and some other languages", he said.

'Ra.one' is all set to release on October 26.
