Shah Rukh Khan has apparently roped in Hans Zimmer of The Dark Knight and The Lion King fame, to compose music for his home production.Though known to be a perfectionist even otherwise, King Khan it seems wants to put all his energies in making his production RA.One, an international success.
Not too long ago, Shah Rukh Khan signed the pop icon Akon to sing one of the songs in the film. And now, the grapevine has it that SRK has signed German composer Hans Zimmer to work on the background score of the film. And if all goes well, this will be the first time Hans will be composing music for a Bollywood movie.
Hans Zimmer is recognised as one of Hollywood's most innovative musical talents for having worked on super hits like The Lion King, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Pirates of The Caribbean series, The Da Vinci Code, The Dark Knight, Sherlock Holmes and even the much-talked-abut Inception.
A source from the unit reveals, "Shah Rukh has roped in a lot of foreign technicians for his sci-fi flick.
He wants the film to be of international standards. It was his director Anubhav Sinha who suggested Hans Zimmer's name for the background score.
Anubhav took the help of his contacts to arrange for a meeting between Hans and SRK. With time, Hans agreed to come on board."
Apparently, Hans has refused several Bollywood offers in the past and this time, he has agreed to make an exception for Shah Rukh's film RA.One.
You wonder if King Khan's charms won the day.
Well surely, but the buzz is that Hans has been paid a whopping 2 crore just to compose the background music for the film.
For now, Shah Rukh and Anubhav Sinha remained unavailable for comment.
