Silambarasan’s Love Anthem with International Rockstars Akon and Rihanna is about to rock the world! The lyrics for this song is composed using 96 different languages and hence it is believed become a bigger rage.

The song has been shot in Chennai with the help of director Vignesh Shivan of Poda Podi and Vettai Mannan director Nelson. Cinematographer Shakthi has cranked the camera to film this video.

The first look of this Love Anthem video is out already and Sony Music is to release it very soon.

Shah Rukh Khan’s over-ambitious superhero project RA.One received quite a few negative reviews in India. Talking from Los Angeles, where the actor was on tour with his film team until Saturday, he says, seeming rather upset, “I was reading some reviews and they were silly. They are looking into some other aspect of filmmaking.”

Internationally, he claims that the Anubhav Sinha directorial got a great response. “LA Times has carried a fantastic movie review,” he insists, before adding, “We presented the film to a lot of people from Fox (Fox Studios, US) and we spoke to the foreign press on the technical aspect of RA.One. It’s important that we promote this ideology and explain to the world that we can do it.”

Within this week, the actor has travelled to Dubai, London and Toronto, before arriving in the US. His promotional rampage in India too made headlines. But the real challenge he claims to face is “showing the world that India too can make high-tech films.”

And to facilitate the same, he has set up a technically advanced studio in the city, which he used for the postproduction of RA.One. “The good news is that the studio is two or three years ahead of any other. This is the first step in that direction,” says the actor-producer, adding, “This is the time to bring this genre to India. And I have started it. Instead of cribbing, if you want to modernise and make different movies, you have to use this technology.”

Till Friday, RA.One had collected over Rs 60 cr at the box office in India, the film’s spokesperson claims. “I feel relieved to see it open well. I’ve been travelling, so I wasn’t able to follow the figures much. All my partners now feel that they’ll be able to recover their money.”

The film, which also stars Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor, released on Diwali, October 26 and was made for a reported budget of Rs 150 crore. Ask him about the sequel, and he says he’s leaving it all to time: “Let’s see how it fares. It’s lot of hard work. I’m happy how people have responded, despite mixed reports. Once it has come to the fore, I’ll give it a thought.”

Khan will be seen in Farhan Akhtar’s next directorial Don 2 in December, and will start shooting for Yash Chopra’s film in January 2012.

A fresh surprise for all those who are eagerly awaiting the Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Ra.One' produced by Shahrukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment.

Reportedly, Shahrukh's pet project 'Ra.one' starring himself with Kareena Kapoor in the lead role only had cameos by actors Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra. And now, Superstar Rajinikanth has also been signed on for a guest appearance as a icing on the cake for this superhero flick that is directed by Anubhav Sinha.

About Rajini’s cameo in ‘Ra.One’, an insider disclosed that there will be a scene where Shahrukh will be attacked by the rowdies and it is then when the Superstar will be making his entry. Confirming Rajini’s special appearance in SRK’s pet project, a source said, "In the sequence he will deliver his super-hit dialogue from the film Baashha.”

With 'Ra.one' scheduled for a diwali release, news is that Rajini, who has just recovered from illness, will be shooting for his cameo at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, on Oct. 4.

It’s learnt that at the outset, Rajini’s look-alike was approached for this sequence in question. However, later on Shahrukh somehow managed to convince Rajini himself for the cameo in his film.
