If getting hip-hop star Akon to groove in RA.One wasn’t enough, Shah Rukh Khan has now managed to rope in legendary English band, The Prodigy, as well.
For the background score of the film, the band will collaborate with the music director duo Vishal-Shekhar. Thanks to King Khan, this is the first time Vishal and Shekhar will join hands with the guys who gave us chartbusters like Smack My Bitch Up and Firestarter.
The electronic dance music band will come to India for a music concert in January 2011, post which work on RA.One is likely to start.
In a project that boasts of a lot of international collaborations already, headbanging to a group like Prodigy is clearly a big feather in SRK’s cap, even if doesn’t fall off that is. The editor of RA.One is Martin Walsh of Chicago fame, for instance, apart from several others who hail from Hollywood.
Talking about the many international collaborations the film boasts of, a source says, “The story of the film is very Indian at heart but the treatment is very high-tech. Hollywood has made a lot more films with superheroes and therefore has a better know-how with the genre.”
As for the collaboration with Prodigy, Vishal and Shekhar are apparently thrilled. Both of them think very highly of Prodigy and were very keen on getting them on board. They say Anubhav Sinha too was very excited about the band.
Vishal says, “We are in discussions with The Prodigy to do a track in RA.One. They are quite keen and so are we. Currently we are in the process of working out schedules.
They are playing the Invasion festival in January. So we are going to try and work dates out around that. This will be one of the biggest collaborations ever. Can’t wait.”
Neither can we.
