Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Zero’ was one of the much-anticipated films of 2018. The unique film also had Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in leading roles. But, ‘Zero’ received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike and did below par business at the box office. Now, Aanand L Rai, who was the director of the film has opened up about ‘Zero’s lack of success.
The ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ director in an interview with news agency PTI said, “I won’t say I am disappointed. I will need to understand (what went wrong). This is the story I wanted to say and I made it. After making ‘Ranjhaanaa‘ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and the second one, this film (‘Zero’) was due for me to make. To take a certain flight and I have not landed on it properly.”
He further added, “It is a learning and it will help me grow as a director. I am not afraid to take risks and experiment.”
‘Zero’ had Shah Rukh Khan playing a vertically challenged character named Bauua Singh. The film tried to push the envelope, but couldn’t click with the audience. Anushka Sharma played a differently-abled character in the film and Katrina Kaif portrayed the role of an actress.
As sometimes you can do all the things right but still don’t get the desired result. Aanand L Rai is a seasoned campaigner and would be itching to bounce back with his upcoming project.
