Shahrukh's Ra.One inspired by Hrithik's Krrish

Looks like a lot of people are being inspired by actor Hrtihik Roshan. A few days ago it was Aamir Khan, who was full of praises for Duggu and now it is none other than the superstar Shahrukh Khan. The actor during the theatrical release of Ra.One trailer told the reporters that he was inspired by Hrithik's film Krrish and always has a strong desire to act in a superhero film.

"I love comic and superhero films. I am very much inspired by films like Krrish and Drona. Since childhood I used to tie towel on my shoulders, wear blue tights, red swimming costume and used to jump from a height. I loved comic superheroes and films like Teesri Akan, Paras Mani. I always had this desire to do superhero films," expressed King Khan.

Shahrukh, who thinks that he was too old to do a superhero, humbly added, "I was really happy to see Krrish. Drona was a fantastic effort. There is no comparison, but my film is inspired by all these films. I don't want to overtake anyone.". Talking further about Krrish 2, he told the reporters, “I am really keen on the film and hope that Duggu (Hrithik) makes it ten times or 100 times better than this film (Ra.one)."

Shahrukh, who did 80 percent of the stunts by himself in Ra.One, expressed that he was happy that he has managed to pull off the entire film at this age. He accepted that it was quite difficult for him to do such stunts. He added that the train landing stunt is his favourite one as his son liked the scene and appreciated him for it.

Ra.One is slated to release on October 26, 2011
