Aanand L Rai Reacts To Zero Failure & This Is What He Has To Say!
Zero may have crashed at the box office but the director Aanand L Rai is not disheartened with the response. The filmmaker views the experience as a lesson learnt.
2018
witnessed
many
failures
of
big-budget
movies
and
Shahrukh
Khan's
Zero
was
one
of
them.
The
film
may
have
crashed
at
the
box
office
but
the
director
Aanand
L
Rai
is
not
disheartened
with
the
response.
The
filmmaker
views
the
experience
as
a
lesson
learnt.
The
Shahrukh
Khan-starrer,
which
also
featured
Anushka
Sharma
and
Katrina
Kaif,
was
billed
as
one
of
the
biggest
films
of
2018.
"I
won't
say
I
am
disappointed.
I
will
need
to
understand
(what
went
wrong).
This
is
the
story
I
wanted
to
say
and
I
made
it.
After
making
'Ranjhaanaa'
and
'Tanu
Weds
Manu'
and
the
second
one,
this
film
('Zero')
was
due
for
me
to
make...
To
take
a
certain
flight
and
I
have
not
landed
on
it
properly.
"It
is
a
learning
and
it
will
help
me
grow
as
a
director.
I
am
not
afraid
to
take
risks
and
experiment," Rai
told
PTI
when
asked
if
he
was
disappointed.
Zero
had
Shahrukh
playing
the
role
of
a
vertically
challenged
man,
Katrina
featured
as
a
troubled
star
while
Anushka
portrayed
a
scientist
suffering
from
cerebral
palsy.
The
film
released
on
December
21
and
did
not
receive
favourable
response,
either
from
audience
or
critics.
Rai
was
talking
on
the
sidelines
of
the
inauguration
of
National
Museum
of
Indian
Cinema
(NMIC),
by
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
Saturday,
developed
in
the
premises
of
Films
Division
in
South
Mumbai.
"It
feels
good
when
cinema
gets
this
kind
of
attention
and
focus.
And
also
when
the
higher
authorities
are
taking
care
and
giving
the
due
which
was
always
needed.
It
strengthens
us,"
he
said
of
the
museum.
