For the superhero suit he has to wear in Ra 1
Shah Rukh Khan will go to any lengths to ensure everything is just right in his next film Ra 1. The actor, who plays a superhero in the film, recently flew to Los Angeles to be fitted for his special suit. He had to enter a 12X3 chamber where he was covered in molten lax up to his neck. The latex was then made to solidify. When the process was complete, it was slit in the side and slowly peeled off him. The mould will later be modified further into the steel blue suit he will finally wear in the film. The cost for making the suit is Rs 1 crore.
But what's so special about the suit? Apparently, the special material will provide both flexibility and protection. It will keep the possibility of injury to a minimum, which is important, as Shah Rukh is known to have suffered injuries on the sets of his previous films. It is also fitted with special micro-computer circuitry vital for filming visual effects.
