As scheduled, Shah Rukh Khan has finally announced the title of Aanand L Rai's film today. The movie that also features actresses Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in pivotal roles, has been titled Zero. In the much-hyped film, Shah Rukh Khan is playing the role of a dwarf. Revealing the title, the superstar tweeted, ''टिकटें लिए बैठें हैं लोग मेरी ज़िंदगी की, तमाशा भी पूरा होना चाहिए! As promised, here’s the title of @aanandlrai ‘s film.''
Anushka Sharma too, took to Twitter to announce the title in her own style. She wrote, ''New year ki raat waali party toh ho gayi, par #2ZERO18 ki party toh aaj se shuru hui hai. Dekhiye Zero.''
The director, Aanand L Rai wrote, ''Yeh dekho hamara Hero aa gaya.''
Earlier, Shah Rukh and Rai engaged in banter over the pending announcement on Twitter. The actor asked the filmmaker about when should the title be announced, and they reached a conclusion to give it out to the fans at 5 p.m. on Monday. The banter unfolded with a series of sketched images of Shah Rukh and Rai, who have collaborated for the first time for this project.
The never-seen-before avatar of Shah Rukh was received with lots of love. Diana Penty who has collaborated with Rai in Happy Bhaag Jayegi tweeted, ''Haha...tooooo good!!''
Soon after the title announcement, #2ZERO18 became Twitter's top trend. Fans went gaga on seeing their favourite star in such a challenging role.
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Imtiaz Ali’s directorial venture Jab Harry Met Sejal alongside Anushka Sharma. The movie just about managed to perform decently at box office. The actor is currently seen hosting a show titled, TED Talks India.
