Shah Rukh Khan is set to appear in a new film of 2018 and that too in a role you haven’t ever seen him.
A number of fans on the social media reacted within minutes after the Zero teaser was revealed. SRK revealed both the title and the first look of his film with Aanand L Rai, and how! Shah Rukh plays the role of a dwarf in the movie.
Rai confirmed the news to PTI saying, “It (story) sounds like it is just about a dwarf but it is much more than that. It is a much taller film. It is a very entertaining and interesting love story.”
The director then went on to add that he’d be a “fool” is he does not have romance and songs in a Shah Rukh film. While no one has been locked as the leading lady, rumours suggest that Kangana is being considered for the role.
Overall, it’s all hail Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter! “Raising the bar, even if he’s playing a person of short stature. The best way to start your year!” read a tweet. Karan Johar also thinks “it’s absolutely superb.”
