Shah
Rukh
Khan's
superhero
film
Ra.One
released
nine
years
ago
on
October
26.
Recalling
the
film's
release,
director
Anubhav
Sinha
took
to
his
Twitter
account
and
thanked
the
Ra.One
team
and
apologised.
Anubhav
Sinha
is
now
known
for
making
films
like
Article
15
and
Thappad,
however
talking
about
his
ambitious
film,
the
filmmaker
said
it
was
the
most
"bittersweet
experience"
of
his
life.
Ra.One
reportedly
was
one
of
the
most
expensive
Bollywood
films
of
its
time
and
extensively
introduced
VFX
to
Hindi
cinema.
However,
it
failed
at
the
box
office
and
was
called
out
by
fans
for
copying
Hollywood
action
films.
Anubhav
Sinha's
Tweet
Yet
Sinha
has
not
given
up
on
the
superhero
genre
just
yet.
His
tweet
read,
"Nine
years
back
this
date
we
released
Ra.One.
Probably
the
most
bittersweet
experience
of
my
life.
Such
an
accomplishment
and
disappointment
together
in
so
many
ways.
I
must
make
another
superhero
film
just
for
a
catharsis.
Thanks
and
sorry
Team.
Love
Y'all"
Sinha
On
Ra.One
Earlier
while
talking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Sinha
had
said
that
audience's
response
drained
him.
"I
have
been
relentless
these
pass
three
decades.
I've
fallen,
stood
up
and
fallen
again.
When
you
make
the
biggest
film
in
the
history
of
Bollywood,
Ra.One,
and
get
so
much
flak,
it
drains
you...
haunts
you
for
years.
I
was
exhausted
physically
and
emotionally.
So
I
am
actually
happy
doing
nothing."
Ra.One
Was
One
Of
The
Most
Expensive
Releases
Of
The
Time
Ra.One
starring
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Arjun
Rampal
and
Kareena
Kapoor
in
the
leading
roles
failed
to
impress
the
audience
due
to
its
story.
SRK
was
seen
playing
the
superhero
G.One,
while
Arjun
Rampal
played
the
titular
role
of
supervillain
Ra.One.
After
creating
a
powerful
villain,
the
game
designer
dies
at
the
hands
of
the
villain.
He
then
follows
the
gamer's
child
who
only
has
one
chance
of
survival
and
it
is
to
bring
the
hero
from
the
game.
G.One
also
had
a
similarity
to
the
MCU
superhero
Iron
Man,
instead
of
an
arc
reactor,
G.One
had
a
HART
(Hertz
advanced
resonance
transmitter).
The
film's
poster
was
also
criticized
for
being
a
copy
of
Batman
while
the
hero's
suit
was
too
similar
to
Tron's
bodysuit.
