Shah Rukh Khan closed the 2019 Beijing International Film Festival with the screening of his last release Zero.
Talking about the film’s performance in India, Khan got candid in an interview with China Global Television Network:
“Unfortunately, Zero itself wasn’t received too well back home in India. Maybe I made the wrong film, maybe I did not do the right storytelling so I am a little wary how it will be received here and I hope people here will like it.”
The 2018 film starred Khan along with actresses Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. The USP of Zero was in the advanced VFX technology used for Khan’s character as a dwarf. Though the film was lauded for the efforts, it couldn’t make a mark at the Indian Box Office.
Looking back at the audience response, the 53-year-old actor added,
“When it went wrong, I felt bad that it got rejected by so many people. When you make a film like that for three years and it goes wrong, you get not depressed or anything, but I didn’t want to see it. I am going to see it after three months. Maybe I will be able to figure out when I am away what went wrong with it.”
As reported by trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the film underwent some edits from the original version for the Chinese audience and hence, has received a good response.
