Aanand L Rai's 'Zero' is all set to hit theatres on December 21 and it's definitely going to be one of the biggest films of 2018. Not only is the film all about loving life but it features three mega-stars too, Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. And while you might have seen the 'King of romance', Shah Rukh romance some leading ladies in Bollywood, in this film, you will see him romance life.
Talking about the film, Aanand L Rai said, "The film is about ‘let’s celebrate life in any form’. This film makes me feel very dreamy." He added, "This film talks about the fact that 'challenged' people are happier than us and that we are all the same. We are all dealing with our weaknesses. Their weaknesses show, ours do not." Talking about Shah Rukh Khan's vertically-challenged role he said, "To play a vertically challenged person you need to be a very secure actor."
We all know and love SRK as the 'King of romance', but Rai sees more. "Shah Rukh, as a person is actually a man who is in love with people, who really does want to romance with life. That is why it was very interesting for me to work with him," said the filmmaker. When asked about how it was working with the ‘superstar’, he said, “He never brought that stardom on the sets and I am very fortunate that I got to spend time with him before the film touched floors. I am yet to meet the 'superstar'.”
We are excited to watch this one. What about you?
