The filmmaker says their film Zero celebrates the ‘incompleteness’ in people. SRK will be seen in an unusual avatar. So we decided to show the teaser to the real life, vertically challenged actor Lilliput. He watched the trailer and it looks like our man was not impressed by Shah Rukh Khan. He said that Shah Rukh looks very cute and nothing like a dwarf.

Lilliput is known for his roles in TV series in the 90s like Dekh Bhai Dekh and Woh. He has also acted in many films. The actor talks about what a dwarf really looks like and surely it’s nothing like Shah Rukh Khan in Zero. Dwarfism is a medical condition which could be genetic in which limbs, fingers and legs are disproportionate. The predominant cause of this is bone disorder.
Lilliput is not just an actor, he is also a writer and Dekh Bhai Dekh fans will be delighted to know that the show will be back soon. Lilliput is penning the show. He is also known by his real name as M.M. Faruqui.
Zero is set to be released on December 21 this year. Rai promised that they will keep sharing details about the film at regular intervals. Aanand who has earlier directed the spectacularly successful Tanu Weds Manu films, feels the audiences’ excitement. “I feel we’re on to something special this time. I can feel it. The audience can feel it too.”
