Ra.One Sequel: When Shah Rukh Khan starrer Ra.One, directed by Anubhav Sinha, was released in theatres in 2011, but it didn't perform well at the box office. However, the superhero film, with its gripping visual effects, left fans impressed, and the demand for a sequel has been buzzing ever since. Over a decade later, SRK has hinted that fans might see his return as G.One. He also revealed that Ra.One sequel is possible, but only if Anubhav decides to make it. The actor also opened up about why the film didn't work at that time, stating that it was a new kind of film, and is still close to his heart.

Is Ra.One Sequel Happening? SRK Reveals

Shah Rukh treated fans with updates about his upcoming movies and potential sequels on his 60th birthday. During a special fan meet in Mumbai, the Bollywood superstar talked about the possibility of a Ra.One sequel, revealing he is ready to do it. He said, "Yes, if Anubhav ever decides to… because he’s the one who made it, and I think only he can make it again. We worked really hard on it. And God willing, if the time ever feels right, we might do it again. It’s easier now anyway."

SRK also revealed on how Ra.One didn't meet expectations upon its release in 2011. The film also starred Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor Khan alongside him. The actor stated, “Because it was a new kind of film, and it was very close to my heart. Anubhav (the director) worked really hard to make it. So I was expecting it to start a new trend. Because I always feel that if I make a film — since my position is so good, and I’ve really been gifted by God to be in this position — then I should make things that inspire others to make such films too. Because it’s very important for our country.”

Revealing his thoughts while making the superhero film, SRK added, "I thought that when I make Ra.One, everyone would say, ‘It’s a superhero film!’ Not just a superhero one, but it was also about visual effects. Studios would come here, a lot of things would change. So yes, it didn’t quite live up to those expectations. But as a film, it did very well. I think people loved it even then. And maybe there were things — like PlayStation, video games, or iPads — that people weren’t so familiar with back then. Now we know much more about all that. Everyone has a smartphone now. Back then, it wasn’t like that. Today, it would probably be more acceptable."
