Mumbai:
Shah Rukh Khan showed the first rushes his next big release, Ra.One to the cast of his home production Always Kabhi Kabhi.
The actor is known for holding exclusive pre-release screenings of his upcoming movies for close friends and family members.
This time he made an exception and gave the young guns of Always Kabhi Kabhi Zoa Morani, Giselli Monteiro, Ali Fazal, Satyajit Dubey and also director Roshan Abbas, a sneak peek into Ra.One.
This happened when they were shooting for the film's song Antenna.
Says a source, "The shooting of the song got over at 2 am and SRK was heading home. Satyajit asked him about the experience of shooting a big and expensive film like Ra.One. Acting impromptu, Shah Rukh invited all of them to his vanity van. Roshan did try to dissuade the kids saying that SRK might be tired but he called them in and showed them the songs and major portions of the sci-fi thriller."
Roshan Abbas says, "The kids were blown away after they saw the rushes. The sheer size and scale of Ra.One is overwhelming! Ali says it was like entering a space shuttle."
So were the kids also beleaguered by King Khan's presence on the sets of Always Kabhi Kabhi? Roshan says, "During the shoot SRK deliberately stayed away. He did not want the new actors to be overwhelmed by his presence. But in the last month, he met and interacted with them. He told them to enjoy this moment and do their parents proud! On one occasion Shah Rukh mentioned that while growing up, he was glad to have his mother's support. She called him her Dilip Kumar."
