You may wonder why Shahrukh Khan is doing a superhero film at this age but the superstar has a reason. He has done lots of films in the past for his fans, but this time around, he is doing for his kids.

Shahrukh said at the press conference organised to welcome the international R&B singer Akon that he is doing the superhero film Ra.1 for his children. Going deeper into the film, he added that there is a good guy, bad guy, beautiful girl, wonderful singer and a fantastic director. He went on to say that his character called Jeeva could solidify electricity.

He revealed that Ra.1 is a kind of film that his production house Red Chillies have not tried. He added that it is something new to all crew of the film and would give their best shot to make sure that it succeeds at the box office.

He is going to act with Kareena Kapoor in the film and Anubhav Sinha is directing it. International R&B singer Akon will record a number for the film.
