Aanand L Rai on launching Zero teaser so early

All Shah Rukh Khan fans were in for a surprise when filmmaker Aanand L Rai and his team unveiled the title and teaser of their much-awaited film, Zero, on New Year. As for the teaser, it promised to give a good dose of fun and hence garnered a very positive response from all moviegoers.

While everyone has just loved the dwarf avatar of Shah Rukh Khan in the teaser and the first poster which was rolled out the very next day, some people are curious to know what made filmmaker Aanand L Rai reveal the trailer of his film so early. For the uninitiated, Zero is scheduled for its release in December this year.


When the director was asked about the same, he explained, “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. 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."

Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in principal roles, Zero is slated to release on 21st December 2018. The film has been jointly produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Colour Yellow Productions.

  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
