This year is likely to see the release of two big films with similar sounding titles. Yes…we are indeed referring to Mani Ratnam‘s Raavan and Shah Rukh Khan‘s home production Ra.One.

While Mani‘s Abhi-Ash starrer is a modern-day adaptation of the mythological epic Ramayan, SRK‘s flick is a highly stylized film with a lot of gizmos and gadgets.

Coming to 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.”

Meanwhile with his close friend and CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment- Bobby Chawla still admitted in the hospital, SRK has to even manage all the work related to production of Ra.One.

SRK tweets, “Yes…wish Bobby my friend gets well sooner than soon. He is still in the hospital & the film is soo difficult in terms of production.”

Looks like Ra.One is indeed taking a toll on SRK as he not only has to perform some heavy duty action sequences but also has to manage all aspects related to production.

The much-awaited KITES will be released worldwide on May 21, its international cut – in English language – will be released one week later, on May 28. It means, the American audiences will get to watch the two versions [Hindi and English] in two consecutive weeks.

While the Hindi version, targeted at the Indian diaspora with a running time of 2 hours, will arrive on May 21, the English version, with a running of 90 minutes, will arrive at select venues on May 28.
