Shah Rukh Khan is, well, he’s Shah Rukh Khan. He’s been hailed as the King of Bollywood and he’s held on to that title for over 20 years, now. He is also known as the Badshah, the king of romance and the man who turns everything he touches into gold. However, there are also critics who say that he’s trying too hard to get his films to work, at this point. Given that his latest film, ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ did not perform as well at the domestic box office as was expected, although it did cross the 100 crore mark.
Shah Rukh had an amazing start to the year with the Mahira Khan starrer ‘Raees‘
‘Raees’ was also the fourth highest grossing film of last year.
And then came ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ which crossed the 100 crore mark but it wasn’t well received by many
However, he is back with his latest film, which just had its first look dropped after a lot of anticipation
There was lots of funny banter going around on Twitter, as well, regarding the announcement

And then we finally got to see the title announcement, along with the first look of the movie. Words like paagal, aashiq, shaayar, makkar, kamzarf, mental, dildaar, khota, dhokebaaz, chichora, joker, dagabaaz, kamina, matlabi, behayaa were used to introduce Shah’s character in the teaser
Shah Rukh is in an avatar that we haven’t seen before

And Katrina Kaif who we see all over Shah Rukh’s character’s jacket in the mini teaser
The director of the film, Aanand L Rai, spoke about the concept of the movie. While speaking to an Indian publication said, “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”
In spite of the teaser making me uncomfortable AF, people seem to L.O.V.E it and absolutely can’t wait for the film to drop
