Talking about the upcoming movie of King of Bollywood ‘Zero’, the movie is directed by Aanand L Rai and also stars in Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. It is set to hit the screens on December 21, 2018. The superstar will be seen playing the role of a vertically challenged person.

Director Aanand L. Rai spoke to a leading daily and said about Shah Rukh Khan, “I think he is a very gutsy actor from day one, he has always taken up challenges. And that is the reason I am with him. As a director, you should be prepared to take him on a journey and explore such a superstar. He says yes to subjects that are extraordinary and puts himself in a space that is new, yet different.”  

He also said that he is highly impressed with Shah Rukh’s performance in the film. “This is a blessing that I got to work on a film like this with him. I am happy. He is an intelligent person to play this role. Who else can do this and get into the skin of a character like this? It is tough to take away those two feet, flamboyance, grace and still say ‘let’s romance’.”

About Salman Khan’s cameo in the film, Rai said, "It is a part of the story and it has not been done to increase or give the film a scale. The cameo parts are not done for the sake of it, they have been used (well). There is a reason for them to be a part of the film. They (the appearances) are not structured. It was a delight to have all of them in the film."
