As per Times Of India
The basic plot of SRK's 'Ra.One' has heavy influence of Rajnikanth's 'Robot'.

Coincidence or a planned strategy – Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One seems to be hugely influenced by Rajnikanth's 'Robot'. The similarity between the two films goes beyond the resemblance in appearance of robots 'Chitti' and 'G.One'.

One look at the 'Ra.One' poster and you are instantly reminded of Rajnikanth's 'Robot' but the latest is that just like Rajni, SRK too has a double role in this super hero flick. And hang on! The similarity goes a step further. Just like Rajni's characters of a scientist and a robot, SRK too will play a scientist who creates robots 'G.One' and 'Ra.One'.

SRK plays the good robot 'G.One' while Arjun Rampal will be seen as the bad guy 'Ra.One'. Not just this, 'Ra.One' is portrayed as a robot that behaves like humans which is again a character of Rajni's 'Chitti'.

It can be recalled that SRK was director Shankar's first choice for 'Robot'. He approached Khan with the script but both fell out over creative differences. A year later, SRK announced his Ra.One with director Anubhav Sinha.

Looking at all the influences and similarities, it seems like 'Ra.One' is SRK's version of 'Robot'. We tried contacting the director but he was unavailable for comment. Now which robot performs better at the box office can only be certain when 'Ra.One' hits screens in Diwali this year.

"ohh please! give me a break! Indian media is becoming the equivalent of crap right now! seriously Robot has a completely different look! First off,there are NO robots in Ra.one! second, have you seen Rajni's costume?? it's like a silver shirt lol, and if you look at SRK's costume, it actually looks legit and has kind of a Hollywood superhero feel!!!! And for the hundredth time!!! Robot was out robots & Ra.one is about superheros!!! Completely different things all together!!!!!!"

Haha.. I completely agree. Most people talk nonsene in their comments and completely out of context. I read somewhere somebody commenting, whats with the blue contacts that srk is wearing. Be original blah blah blah. The contacts give him a more authentic super hero look. I think people just like to criticize without looking at whats going on.
