However, the two similar sounding films are as different as chalk and cheese when it comes to their plotlines.

Ra.One, 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.One is the acronym for 'Random Access-Version One'. This fact has been confirmed by the Superstar himself on Twitter. Says SRK, "Ra.One means Random Access- Version One, u will understand when u see the film. The Superhero is called G.One. Ra.One site will be up soon."
ShahRukh Khan is excited about his first superhero film "Ra.One", which will also see him flying. And he says he is doing it for his children and hopes to succeed at the box office."The film 'Ra.One' is a superhero film. There is a good guy, there is a bad guy, there is a beautiful girl, there is a wonderful singer and a fantastic director," Shah Rukh told reporters at a press conference organised to welcome the international R&B singer Akon at Sahara Star hotel Tuesday.
"It's a kind of film, a genre we guys haven't tried at 'Red Chilies'. On behalf of the whole team, I would like to try and I hope we succeed. It's a new thing for all of us, so we are giving it our best shot. Hopefully, we will be able to do what we are set out to do. I am doing it for my kids,"
