Shahrukh Khan's Ra.One, a tribute to Rajnikanth

Shahrukh Khan's Ra.One, one of the most expensive film to be made in the history of Bollywood reportedly has similarities with south superstar Rajnikanth's Endhiran, a 2010 Tamil science-fiction film, which apparently broke many box office records.

Pushing away similarities between the two films, Shahrukh Khan said, “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."

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

Endhiran, on the other hand, was directed by S Shankar and featured Rajinikanth in dual roles--as a scientist and an android robot--alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Shahrukh Khan 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.

Shahrukh Khan also revealed that Ra.One is being dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. The actor also revealed that he plans to dub the film in German and some other languages as well.

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