Revisiting Shah Rukh Khan Starrer Zero’s Failure: A Clash With Yash’s KGF Chapter 1, Box Office Deficit Of 102.50 Crores & Much More!

It’s not hidden from anyone that Zero was Shah Rukh Khan’s ambitious project. Going a bit offbeat, the superstar played the character of a person with a short stature. Even though the performance was praised, the film turned out to be a major debacle at the Indian box office, leading to Khan’s hiatus from acting. So, in today’s piece, we’ll be revisiting the failure of the film.

For Zero, Shah Rukh collaborated with director Aanand L Rai for the first time. As the story revolved around a person of short stature, the actor had to put a lot of effort into shooting a scene. If we search for the making of the film on YouTube, we’ll come across the exhausting process of shooting a scene. Also, the entire film was loaded with heavy VFX work, which took months to complete.

All thanks to the powerful cast of Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, alongside Shah Rukh Khan, and the substantial use of VFX, Zero carried a huge budget. Even though it’s not officially known, it is learned that the film was made at a staggering 200 crores, making it SRK’s most expensive film back then.
