Khan Banega Crore-'suit'-Pati!

Shah Rukh Khan will don a Rs 1 crore body suit for his upcoming flick Ra-One. Shah Rukh plays a superhero in this already much promoted movie directed by Anubhav Sinha. It happens to be the most expensive Bollywood costume ever donned for a movie. Shah Rukh Khan however, will remember it for entirely different reasons.


The special body suit was custom made for him in Los Angeles and he  had to enter a chamber filled with hot molten latex for the precise fittings of his superhero suit.


The process involved in creating that suit was something the actor had never experienced before. He was required to lower himself wearing just the bare essentials into a 12X3 chamber while a very warm liquid latex-like material was gradually released in it till it reached his neck. Then it was allowed to solidify. Once the mould was formed, it was slit from the side and slowly peeled off Shah Rukh. The whole painful process took an entire hour, which apparently for SRK could have well been an eternity. The two sides were later joined together with a concealed zipper. The mould was then taken for further modifications to form the final suit which he will be seen wearing in the film.


A source describes the costume hence - The suit is steel blue in colour and made from a special reinforced latex, meant to provide both flexibility and protection. It acts as a tough exoskeleton to minimize external injury while being flexible enough not to hamper body movement while performing stunts. But it didn't come cheap - the suit, fitted with micro-computer circuitry required for the film, cost nearly Rs 1 crore.


For all the hardwork and special effects, here is wishing SRK all the best for Ra.one.

    London: Indians figure among the first ten in the list of the most attractive looking people in the world while Americans top the chart, a new survey has found.


    While the US, home to Hollywood hunk George Clooney and actress Angelina Jolie among others, has come first, the second position is occupied by Brazil in the poll of more than 5,000 globe-trotting Britons.

    Spain, which boasts Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz as one of its natives, has come third. Blonde, tanned surfers of Australia saw it voted into fourth place, while Italy came fifth, according to the survey.

    Sexy Swedes, such as model Victoria Silvstedt, helped the Scandinavian country into sixth spot, while England made it to the seventh place in the poll.

    India, home to Bollywood beauties like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, and heartthrob Salman Khan, among others, has come eighth, while France came ninth and Canada finished off the top 10.

    Other countries to feature in the top 20 include Portugal, Japan and Netherlands. Germany completed the top 20.

    A spokeswoman for 'www.OnePoll.com', which carried out the survey, was quoted by 'The Daily Telegraph' as saying,

    "America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet.

    "The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America's image as a hot bed of good looking people. But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.

    "But in fairness, when you think of good looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits. If you're looking for some fun in the sun you now know where to head on holiday."
