Now that the Ra.One shoot is over, Shah Rukh Khan is feeling a sense of emptiness.

The actor tweeted a picture of the bike (left, bottom) that he will be seen riding in the film. It has been designed by art director Sabu Cyril.

'always wanted to ride bikes...mom never allowed me. just so that she knows...this one i was tied to with wires so perfectly safe...for a romantic hero i felt quite the dude..ha ha,' Shah Rukh tweeted.

He added: 'ra.one shoot finally over. we start films so that we complete them fast...but when they finish there is a sense of emptiness as if a difficult but passionate relationship has come to an end. film making is like love....like falling from a building...but not feeling the impact or the hurt till you reach the end. here's to new beginnings...cos endings are just beginnings backwards.'

The film also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra have cameos in the film.

Not war. Rec this last nite right after d show from amit uncle - Hrithik !!Well done!!Saw ZNMDYou looked godly and were so composed and natural..Love,' he wrote.

Filmmaker-cum-actor Farhan Akhtar recently joined Trinamool Congress and clarified his intention behind the move.

'The Media has reported that I have joined the Trinamool Congress Youth Wing. The truth is that I have been asked to be a member on an Advisory board for cultural activities, in my capacity as an actor/film maker. This is in my understanding, to be an apolitical board. I hope this will clear my stand on this decision once and for all,' he tweeted.
