Anubhav Sinha Said People Hated Him For Making Ra One With Shah Rukh Khan
Last Updated:
Anubhav Sinha directed the 2011 sci-fi film Ra.One starring Shah Rukh Khan. Despite high hopes, it didn't do well at the box office.
Before turning to socially impactful films like Mulk, Article 15, and Thappad, Anubhav Sinha directed several mainstream movies, including the 2011 sci-fi blockbuster Ra.One. Featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Arjun Rampal, the film was highly anticipated but received negative reviews and underperformed at the box office. In an interview, Anubhav Sinha reflected on Ra.One, describing it as a bold superhero venture that didn't meet expectations commercially. He also praised Shah Rukh Khan for his wholehearted commitment to the project.
In an earlier interview with Indian Express, Anubhav Sinha said that many people were unhappy with his movie Ra.One and blamed him just because Shah Rukh Khan was in it, even though they didn't know him. 'When Ra.One released, it disappointed 50-70 per cent of those people, and they hated me because I had made this film with Shah Rukh. But they had never even met me. Post this incident, when I met new, intelligent people, they 'complimented' me saying you are not the person who made those films, you are someone else. This was heartbreaking to hear. Because if I don't reflect in my own films then I am not a filmmaker. That was the discontentment I felt and recognised. And then Mulk happened. And ever since then I have been driven by that. In fact, even when Mulk happened, nobody was willing to pay me money to make the movie. It wasn't until a month of the shoot that Deepak Mukut (co-producer of Mulk) came on board," Anubhav had said.
Ra.One is a 2011 superhero movie directed by Anubhav Sinha, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Arjun Rampal. People were excited before it came out, but it got mixed reviews and did not do well in theaters. The movie was known for its special effects and new ideas.

The actor openly discussed his struggles when he started out and his family's attitude to his professional decision. The actor admitted that he did not receive a great response from his mother while also not being convinced about his talent himself initially. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Barun recalled how his parents reacted to his decision to become an actor. He said, 'My mom said ki beta har koi Shah Rukh Khan nahi banta hai (son, not everybody becomes Shah Rukh Khan) and my reply to mom was mujhe Shah Rukh Khan nahi banna hai (I don't even want to be Shah Rukh Khan). If I go and try to do something, I want to be my own person."
