The launch of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Zero coincided with the Badshah’s birthday. The trailer was revealed at a special event at IMAX Wadala in Mumbai, which was attended by SRK, co-stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, and director Aanand L Rai.
Most of the guests who were invited got quite fidgety owing to some delays. But the moment Khan arrived, the atmosphere quickly brightened and the crowd sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him.
Speaking about the film Shah Rukh said,
The film has been directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma. Shah Rukh was all praises for Rai.
In the film, Shah Rukh plays Bauaa, a small man with big dreams. Anushka Sharma essays a woman with cerebral palsy and Katrina Kaif an actor who is struggling with alcoholism. Speaking of her character Katrina said,
Acknowledging the effort it took to portray a differently-abled character, Anushka said,
The feeling of ownership and respect for the people who worked on the film was visible as each member of the crew was introduced to the audience.
The three actors will be seen together on screen after six years, commenting on which Katrina said,
Shah Rukh also shared an anecdote from the first time he met Rai.
Aanand L Rai concluded the event by saying,
(At The Quint, we are answerable only to our audience. Play an active role in shaping our journalism by becoming a member. Because the truth is worth it.)
