Miami's new role as Bollywood West will have to wait.

The Indian movie that was slated to bring Bollywood's biggest star to Miami scratched plans to shoot in South Florida, citing production costs, film officials said Monday.

Ra.One would have been a major coup for South Florida's film industry given its leading man: Shahrukh Khan, dubbed 'the world's biggest movie star' by Newsweek magazine two years ago. It would have been the second Bollywood movie brought to South Florida in two years, following production of the 2008 blockbuster Dostana.

If Shah Rukh has his way, Jackie might make B-Town debut in Ra 1.

Martial arts legend Jackie Chan will make his Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh’s Ra1.

Sources from Red Chillies reveal they are in talks with Chan for the superhero action film.

If Chan comes on board, expect to see major action scenes featuring him and SRK in the action- thriller directed by Anubhav Sinha.

Ra1 will be based in Miami and Hollywood crew will be used for the film.

Despite strong rumours that the two friends have fallen apart, Farah Khan’s fondness for Shah Rukh Khan reigns supreme. Ever since Akshay Kumar was roped in for Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan, it was touted that SRK and Farah were no longer on talking terms. The director however, silenced all those wagging tongues with her recent remarks. Farah told her technical team that it is SRK’s Ra1 that should be given priority over her film, Tees Maar Khan.

One of Bollywood's biggest stars is slated to spend about a month in Miami shooting a film that could be seen by up to half a billion people around the globe.

Executive Producer Prashant Shah, founder, president and CEO of New Jersey-based Bollywood Hollywood Productions, said besides entertaining global audiences, his film geared for India may also draw global investors to Miami.

An "estimated $50 million was dropped into the city after they saw our film," he said of "Dostana," a 2008 Bollywood film he produced in Miami. "I know at least 50 Indian families from Southeast Asia who, after they saw the film, bought homes in Miami."

SRK-starrer superhero flick to now shoot in the US

The much-anticipated Shah Rukh Khan superhero flick RA-1 is going to mount the sets in late December for two months in Miami, USA. Shah Rukh is changing his physical appearance in the film.

The unit is supposed to leave for Miami in the last week of December, while the shooting for the film will begin from the first week of January when SRK arrives to the US.
