Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the most challenging driving lesson of his life. He will be taught how to drive one of the world’s fastest production cars, the Volkswagen Bugatti, for his forthcoming film Ra.One.
Yes, knowing how to drive isn’t enough; you need special lessons for driving this mean machine. And knowing that SRK is a perfectionist, the teaching session is sure to last a while. The title of the film Ra.One, which is SRK’s most ambitious project till date, is short for “Random Access Version One”.Shah Rukh plays a superhero called G.One and drives a super fast car. And Shah Rukh would have to perform several different stunts while driving this vehicle. A source from the crew of the film confirms that the decision to drive the Volkswagen Bugatti was Shah Rukh’s. “Shah Rukh is taking most of the decisions on Ra.One by himself.”
The itinerary is in place. The source says, “A team of technicians from The Pirates Of The Caribbean crew is being flown down, to teach Shah Rukh how to drive the car with ease. When you are zipping at a top speed of 407 kilometres per hour your mind cannot afford to drift.
Your concentration needs to be at its best,” add the source. Currently, Shah Rukh is busy holidaying with his family, we are told. “He will be taking his family to South Africa for the FIFA final. From there, he plans to go straight to London for the next schedule of Ra.One.
It is in this schedule that most of the portions using the Volkswagen Bugatti would be shot. As soon as he reaches London, the experts will commence the driving lessons,” says the source.
