Hey Indian Cinema fans, do we have a scoop for you. Looks like King Khan himself, Shah Rukh Khan will be in Toronto to attend the premiere of his upcoming movie Ra One.
After confirming via twitter that he will be coming, King Kahn took to YouTube to officially invite people to the this premiere screening.
The premiere will take place at the TIFF Lightbox starting at 7.30. Mind you, I imagine people will be lining up long before then. Â Â In the meantime, if the recent IIFA awards was any indication, folks should start warming up their vocal cords now.
This movie is quite ambitious by Indian Cinema standards and the global marketing accompanying it is even more bold. With this film, the producers are hoping to shake off the stigma of second-rate films that Bollywood films produce. Quite frankly, the trailer looks weird and way cheesy, so I am sorry to say that this looks like more of the same, which isn't bad, but really not good enough for the pomp and circumstance surrounding it.
Coupled with this, the event producers for the premiere are more worried about selling tickets at $200 bucks a pop to the screening as well hocking an After-Party. So it would seem that SRK's visit to Toronto is probably wasted as a select of the same wrong few will see the film and the ones who should be seeing it, simply won't care.
All that said, below is the trailer for Ra.One plus the full video of the main song, Chamak Challo, Original Article
