This
year
is
likely
to
see
the
release
of
two
big
films
with
similar
sounding
titles.
Yes,
we
are
indeed
referring
to
Mani
Ratnam's
Raavan
and
Shahrukh
Khan's
home
production
Ra.1.
However,
the
two
similar
sounding
films
are
as
different
as
chalk
and
cheese
when
it
comes
to
their
plotlines.
While
Mani's
Abhi-Ash
starrer
is
a
modern-day
adaptation
of
the
mythological
epic
Ramayan,
SRK's
flick
is
a
highly
stylise
film
with
a
lot
of
gizmos
and
gadgets.
Coming
to
Ra.1,
while
it
is
known
that
SRK
plays
a
super-hero
kind
of
character
in
the
film,
what
is
not
known
is
the
fact
that
the
title
Ra.1
is
the
acronym
for
'Random
Access-Version
One'.
This
fact
has
been
confirmed
by
the
superstar
himself
on
Twitter.
Says
SRK,
"Ra.1
means
randon
access
version
one,
will
understand
when
u
see
the
film.
Ra.1
site
will
be
up
soon/have
no
film
with
Kajol
or
Yashji
right
now/don't
dance
too
well,
I
just
try
hard/I
am
the
hero
in
Ra.1."
Meanwhile
with
his
close
friend
and
CEO
of
Red
Chillies
Entertainment-
Bobby
Chawla
still
admitted
in
the
hospital,
SRK
has
to
even
manage
all
the
work
related
to
production
of
Ra.1.
SRK
tweets,
"Yes...wish
Bobby
my
friend
gets
well
sooner
than
soon.
He
is
still
in
the
hospital
&
the
film
is
so
difficult
in
terms
of
production."
Looks
like
Ra.1
is
indeed
taking
a
toll
on
SRK
as
he
not
only
has
to
perform
some
heavy
duty
action
sequences
but
also
has
to
manage
all
aspects
related
to
production.
