SRKhan producing excellent talent for his ambitious 'Ra.One': Superstar Shahrukh Khan seems hell-bent to make his home production Ra.One a sci-fi thriller extraordinaire, at a par with the ones that Hollywood makes.

After roping in the best hands and minds at stunts and special effects, the King Khan is learnt to have signed the world renowned German composer Hans Zimmer to compose the background score of the film.

Zimmer has composed music for films like Gladiator, Pirates of The Caribbean series, The Da Vinci Code, The Dark Knight and Inception. Considering Zimmer’s credentials, his inclusion in Ra.One, if true, is indeed a big catch for SRK.

We hear that it was director Anubhav Sinha who suggested signing up Zimmer for the film. Though the buzz is that Zimmer has been paid a whopping amount for coming aboard, there’s no official confirmation yet of this.

SRK has already made Akon sing a song for Ra.One. Now, with Zimmer in crew he has certainly turned a new page.

In Ra.One, Shahrukh plays G.One, Arjun Rampal  portrays Ra.One and Kareena is of course the female lead! Other actors include Satish Shah, Shahana Goswami, Dilip tahil, Tom Wu and Ben Hawkey as Billy.

SRK has mentioned that his character is a 'jeevu' so who knows? Maybe he will take on more than one role? Hollywood action favorite Jackie Chan was approached for a role in the movie but he ended up turning down the offer and Tom Wu got the part.

The movie was initially set to start filming in Miami but due to budget problems the shooting took place in India instead. This summer the cast and crew took off to London where they spent a few weeks filming what looked like impressive stunt scenes.

Composer duo Vishal-Shekhar have created the flick's music and hip-hop superstar Akon will be featured on the soundtrack. The "Sexy Chick" singer came to Mumbai earlier this year to record some tracks and participate in a press conference with Shahrukh and Kareena.

SRK has previously shared information about the action hero flick and told reporters at a press meeting: "Ra.One is a superhero film. There is a good guy, there is a bad guy, there is a beautiful girl, there is a wonderful singer and a fantastic director."

He later added on Twitter: "G.One is made of solid electricity...he has come in the real world from a virtual one to fight against RA.one the evil force. He is the Good one....that's why for short...his name is G.One...which also stands for Life in Hindi."

Sounds like a blockbuster to us! Are you looking forward to seeing Ra.One when it hits theaters on June 3, 2011?
