Shahrukh unveils his dwarf avatar for 'Zero'

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on the first day of 2018 treated his fans with the title and teaser of his first creative collaboration with director Aanand L Rai. The film, "Zero", features the actor as a dwarf.

According to Rai, this is a story that celebrates the imperfections in one's life.

The teaser unveiled shows Shah Rukh essaying a vertically challenged man, dancing away at a party. The teaser ends with a dialogue in which he talks about people call him a "zero" and how he amplifies the lives of others if he stands behind them.

On casting Shah Rukh, Rai told,



"I had no option but Khan saab because I needed an intelligent actor, who also can carry that happy-go-lucky attitude."

Explaining the thought behind making such a movie and zeroing in on a title like "Zero", Rai said: "Like the way we say that perfect is boring, imperfection is much interesting... Our film is also celebrating the same. The story of the film is celebrating a perfect love story of two imperfect people.

"Though the protagonist of the film is a dwarf but more than the physical disability of an individual, the story talks about the space of emotional incompleteness of our life."
