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 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.
