Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is impressed with the first look of Shah Rukh Khan's next home production, sci-fi superhero film Ra.One. He says the trailer is a glimpse into the improving visual effects technology in India.

"Shah Rukh's Ra.One has raised bar on VFX tech in Indian cinema judging from trailers. Hope other filmmakers catch up," Kapur tweeted.

The 30-second teaser of the movie was released on ESPN during the India-Australia World Cup Match Thursday.

Khan, who plays the "only protector" from evil powers, in the film looks quite a superhero as he jumps, glides, runs and performs stunts — reminiscent of Hollywood's famous Spiderman.

Going by the teaser, Ra.One is nothing like what Bollywood cinema has probably seen before. However, it does infuse a sense of deja vu as a bit of the flying and unrealistic action sequences were noticed in Rakesh Roshan's Krrish, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Rajnikanth-starrer Robot. But King Khan's attempt at being a superhero, definitely seems several notches above the rest.
