According to SRK and I quote: the negative characters in films stands out, like we remember Gabbar Singh, Mogambo, Shakaal ....(....)...So in these films with negative characters, Hero has to arrive becoming a larger than life character, so I thought...even when I see Batman I remember Joker character...so I just felt that this will be different and unique, Ra.One is evil and evil doesnt have any physicality, we can become evil anytime, so this is the logic behind and I have kept the name of the film Ra.One
