Shah Rukh Khan may have faced a lot of flak for Ra.One’s weak content. But, will it impact how audiences perceive Don 2? That seems to be the question on everyone’s mind as the Christmas release of Farhan Akhtar’s thrilling caper approaches.
However, SRK’s many supporters are only too ready to defend him, saying much is being made of the mixed critical response towards Ra.One, which was in the final analysis, an unequivocal commercial hit. Says a senior film-maker, “So many people have vested interests with a multi-crore project. Moreover, it’s an easy way for people to get attention, talking about someone as big as SRK.” Industry watchers also say that Ra.One’s fate will have no bearing on SRK’s ability to draw crowds to the theatres for Don 2. “SRK’s fan base is very much intact,” says a trade analyst. “Don 2’s promos have already generated a lot of excitement.”
