SRK : Thick Skinned For One Crore!

It's steel blue, crafted of reinforced latex and costs… a mere crore! Shah Rukh Khan has earned the right to beam as the owner of the costliest body suit in B town history, styled expressly for his role of a super hero in the Anubhav Sinha directed 'Ra.One'.

The special outfit, fitted with micro computer circuitry, was created for him in Los Angeles and SRK has unforgettable memories associated with it's fabrication.

The winning 'MNIK' star was required to stand in a 12x3 chamber, when the warm latex liquid would be slowly released until it reached his neck. Once the mould solidified, it was slit from the side and gently peeled off his celeb body. The process took close to an hour. A concealed zipper was used to join the two separated halves together.

Says a close insider, "The body suit is meant to provide both protection and flexibility. It acts as a tough exterior to minimise external injury, while it is flexible enough not to hamper movement while performing stunts."
