What a way to welcome the new year surprising everyone with Aanand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan's next flick's teaser. The makers have officially announced the title of this movie. The name is 'Zero' and we have the hero SRK introduced as a dwarf on the vintage Mohammad Rafi song Hum Ko Tum Pe Pyar Aaya. King Khan in this never seen before avatar is quirky and cute as he starts dancing in this evergreen song throwing off his tiny slippers.
The film also features Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif and has marked a release date of 21 December 2018. Shah Rukh and Anand L Rai were having a banter over Twitter on when to announce their upcoming film's title. The 'Raees' actor asked the filmmaker about when the title should be announced, and they reached a conclusion to release it at 5 p.m. on Monday.
SRK asked Rai, ".@aanandlrai sir, title kab announce karna hai? Ya 2018 mein bhi gaaliyan khaani hain?! @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif," to which the filmmaker replied, "Arre sir apno ki gaaliyaan hain, khaa lenge πPar aap bataao ? 1st January kaisa rahega ?"
Khan then asked if Rai would only announce the title, "Accha rahega...Par sirf title announce karoge ya kuch dikhaaoge bhi? @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif." The filmmaker was more than happy to add, "Naye Saal ka pehla din hai Khan Saab!!! Kuch dikha bhi dena chahiye....π @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif."
King Khan's character in Zero will be three feet tall, and VFX is being used to make him and the other 'dwarf' characters look realistic. The film will celebrate the differently abled the star revealed in an interview. This is why he and Rai don't want people to see it as a 'dwarf' film.
