Shah Rukh Khan's Zero is a romantic sci-fi movie

There's a lot of hype surrounding Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero.

Not much is known about the plot of the movie, but it has now been revealed that Zero is a romantic film that also has a science fiction angle. According to a report, there's an outer space element in the movie and it's going to be sensational.


Zero stars SRK as a dwarf and his two leading ladies are Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. This will be the first time since 2012's Jab Tak Hai Jaan the trio will be seen together in a movie. However, they do not have a single scene together, reports noted.

Although SRK has been getting a lot of attention for his unique role, Sharma and Kaif's characters are also distinctive.

"While everyone thinks that only Shah Rukh Khan has a special role in the film with a disability, they will be surprised to know that Anushka and Katrina's characters also face various challenges," a source told India Today. "While everyone knows Katrina plays a diva, nobody knows that she is also an alcoholic in the film. She battles with alcoholism, which affects her life in various ways. Anushka, on the other hand, plays a struggling scientist. The makers are trying to keep these details a secret because they don't want to give out too much information," the source added.

Zero is directed by Anand L Rai, who is best known for Tanu Weds Manu and Raanjhanaa.

In an earlier interview with a popular media outlet, Rai said he wanted to celebrate beauty of incompleteness with 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," said Rai.

The film is set to be released on December 21, 2018 and fans can expect updates about the film at regular intervals.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
