Why is Shah Rukh Khan's dwarf film titled Zero? Director Aanand L Rai reveals



Tere has been much speculation about Aanand L Rai's film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. The curiosity hit peak levels after it was revealed that SRK would be playing a dwarf in the film.
Yesterday, the filmmaker unveiled the title of the film, and shared a small teaser on social media. Titled Zero, we got to see SRK dancing in full spirit, in the middle of a crowd.
About why the film is titled Zero , "I wanted to celebrate 'Zero'; I wanted to celebrate the incompleteness in people. There is nothing great in being a complete person. There is a beauty to incompleteness. We all are humans and Zero comes from there," Rai said in an interview to PTI.
The filmmaker also revealed that they're still in the middle of making the film. As fans were keen on seeing SRK in a dwarf role, he decided to share the teaser. "Though we are one year away from the release, the film is already getting so much love. So Khan sahab and I decided to give something to fans. It is purely out of the love and affection that we are getting from the fans," said Rai.
"They (fans) are carrying an image in their mind, and it is not exactly what we have in the film. When we were working on it we did not know it (dwarf part) will look this way. I want to replace that image with the right image. The film's USP is Shah Rukh's performance," he added.
The teaser began with numerous words like paagalaashiq (lover) makaar (schemer), which is a hint at SRK's character in the film. Here's the first poster of the film.
