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.

Racist hate is left unchecked online and it is infecting the offline world

Do more people now seem to believe that they have a licence to hate? That was the question posed by Farhana Haider’s powerful Radio 4 documentary this week. It gave voice to frontline NHS staff facing a resurgence of racism at work, of a type some said they had not experienced for decades.

That is about social norms – of what people believe is acceptable or not. I doubt it is that the social clock is actually turning back half a century. The profound shift in attitudes among younger generations, in particular, and the much greater share of voice of ethnic minorities ourselves should prove powerful antidotes to reject any such effort. But it only takes one or two per cent of people believing they have a licence for racism for the experience of ethnic minorities to feel as though it is regressing a generation.
