December 22, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): The King Khan of Bollywood still has more to learn even after an extremely successful career spanning more than two decades. According to reports in the media, Shah Rukh Khan will learn gymnastics for his 2011 Diwali release Ra.One. It is true that SRK is known for his romantic appearances onscreen, but this time he wants to do something never seen before in his forthcoming home production Ra.One for which he is presently taking fitness lessons from physiotherapist Dr Ali Irani, the man who is known to have trained the Indian cricket team as well.
Reports from the sets of Ra.One claim that Shah Rukh Khan will not only be performing gymnastics through the course of the science fiction film, the actor will also perform some trapeze stunts for a song sequence. And the key to performing these difficult stunts is gymnastics, feels the actor. The special song sequence will have stunts, a horde of girls, a circus set and a fully clothed Shah Rukh Khan! Contrary to reports which suggested that SRK will again appear shirtless in Ra.One like he did for Om Shanti Om, director Anubhav Sinha has said in a statement to the media that Shah Rukh Khan will not remove his clothes.
Ra.One is definitely one of the most awaited releases of 2011 and with so much preparation going into the film by Shah Rukh Khan, his fans are waiting with bated breath for the film to hit the theaters.
