Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly signed Hollywood’s famous writer-director David Benullo for the film ‘Ra.1’ which will be directed by Anubhav Sinha. David Benullo is best known for writing the screenplay of much appreciated ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ and the script for Hallowed Ground, Cupid and Shadow Man, which had won him accolades.

Confirming the news, director Anubhav Sinha said, “Yes, David Benullo is one of the writers working on the script.” Reports reveal that the writer has already started working on the film when he was in India recently.

An industry insider said, “‘Ra.1’ has loads of special effects, which is why it is to be made differently from the usual commercial Hindi films. SRK wanted a writer who would do justice to the film. So he got David Benullo to work on the script.”
