'Ra. One' didn't become big overnight - Anubhav on response to new action promo
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,October 14 2011]
New extended action promo of 'Ra.One' is out and Anubhav Sinha is gleaming with pride. His labour of love which spanned over half a decade is now a reality with the release of 'Ra. One' being less a fortnight away. While reactions are continuing to pour in for the film maker who first narrated the subject of 'Ra.One' to Shahrukh Khan way back in 2005, Anubhav is content that they have been good enough to justify their claims of 'Ra.One' being the biggest film ever made in India.
Neither did the film become big overnight nor did we start putting together things in place as an after thought once we started shooting for it. 'Ra.One' became big during the writing stage itself. As we completed one draft after another, we knew that the film was going to be the biggest film ever. It was at this stage that Shah Rukh and I said to each other that now we are committed to live up to our own expectations and there won't be any compromise from this point on, says Anubhav.
Once Shah Rukh commissioned the film to Anubhav and the film maker was formally on board, there was painstaking effort put together in spinning each and every scene in 'Ra.One' to make it stand out from the rest. Everything was of paramount importance here, whether it was to do with writing, the actual shoot or the special effects that complimented every shot in the film.
You can't imagine the kind of detailing that went into practically every scene of the film. We had to amalgamate emotions along with visuals effects, action and background score right there on paper so that we could get it all perfect in what is eventually shown on screen, continues Anubhav, Trust me, all of this couldn't have been possible without team work. At any point in time, there were dozens of people working together to make 'Ra. One' a reality.
While we had raised the bar for ourselves, we now also had to put our best foot forward to make sure that 'Ra.One' turns out to be something really big that people were now expecting from it, concludes Anubhav.
