About Zero
Released in 2018, Zero featured Shah Rukh Khan as Bauua Singh, a man with dwarfism from Meerut navigating love and self-discovery. The film also starred Anushka Sharma as a scientist with cerebral palsy and Katrina Kaif as a troubled superstar.
Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the romantic drama was mounted on a budget of around ₹200 crore but managed to earn only ₹178 crore worldwide. Despite its star-studded cast and grand scale, the film failed to resonate with audiences, leading to Shah Rukh taking a brief break from acting before his grand comeback years later.
