One Kareena Kapoor put 'tikka' on his forehead and garlanded him. And when Shahrukh noticed that flummoxed look on Akon, he quipped with a dimpled smile, "In India, once the actress garlands you, you are married to the hero." And when a member of the press pointed out that how all three of them wore black and white, Shahrukh remarked, "Now that we are married we will be coordinating clothes as well."

 Shah Rukh met Akon for the first time in New York, "and I became his big fan," said the star, looking boyish in black T-shirt and jeans with short gelled hair. By introducing Akon, Shah Rukh Khan 'kickstarted his production' Ra. One, a superhero flick touted to be a 100-crore extravaganza which will be directed by Anubhav Sinha. "Don't ask too many questions or too many details as we don't know what we are making. And ask only funny questions to Akon, he doesn't know anything," said Shahrukh good humoredly.   

However, he decided to give out some details such as him playing the character by the name Jeevan who has the power of solidifying electricity. "Now I can't give out any more than this," said the actor-filmmaker. "Yes, you will see me flying in a body suit and I will wear my underwear outside," he laughed, talking about his attire in the film.

 When asked whether he expects any controversy to happen since Mani Ratnam's Abhishek-Ash starrer is called Ravana, and both the film names sound similar, Shahrukh's clever reply was, "If you don't create a controvery it won't happen." He further added, "And that film is the modern version of the epic whereas this is a superhero."   

At his diplomatic best, Shah Rukh Khan termed the earlier superhero films - Hrithik-starrer Krissh, and Abhishek's Drona as wonderful, and moved on to say that he was trying the genre for the first time. "Not many superhero films have been made. This is going to be a little different. There is a superhero, a good guy, a bad guy and a beautiful girl. But it is certainly not a kiddie film," he clarified.
