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.

You have many reasons why you not invest in bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies

To invest or not to invest - that is the question many of us have in our minds when it comes to cryptocurrencies at the moment. A lot of us are tip-toeing around the idea of investing in them but with all the uncertainty that surrounds them (both in terms of regulations and its legality) we remain cautious. Other than investing in an unregulated space and the potential risk of losing your money by falling prey to a ponzi scheme, you have more reasons to stay away from such investments. Here are six more reasons why you should stay away from cryptocurrencies (well, at leastuntithere is more clarity) 1. Banks have started stopping purchase of cryptocurrency with their cards Recently, Citibank in an email notification to its customers has said that its credit and debit cards cannot be used to purchase cryptocurrencies. Following this, SBI Card has also cautioned customers against risks associated with  bitcoin  and other crypto-currencies and is in d...

Wannabe cars of India; From Maruti Vitara Brezza to Jeep Compass, to Bolero-Pajero & more

The Indian car market is full of modified cars. While some of them are modified with elegance and really look unique, many others are modified to look like various other cars. We bring you five such modified cars. Maruti Vitara Brezza – Jeep Compass The Maruti Vitara Brezza is the largest selling utility vehicle in India. The sub 4-meter compact SUV has a lot of buyers and many of them have modified the car to look like Land Rovers. After the launch of Jeep Compass in the Indian market, many Vitara Brezza owners have swapped the front grille of the Brezza with the iconic 7-slat grille of the Jeep. It sure looks good and different but too wannabe, we think. Mahindra Bolero – Mitsubishi Pajero The Mahindra Bolero used to be the top-selling UV in the Indian market before the arrival of the Maruti Brezza. The rugged SUV is quite popular in Tier II and Tier III cities of India. The Mitsubishi Pajero too has quite a fan following in India. The Pajero SFX became extr...
