Although this flop starred three superstars, the actress has not acted in any film since then, and the production cost was Rs 200 million and the revenue was meager…

From Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar to Om Raut’s Ramayana starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, box office hits There are many Bollywood movies that have lost revenue. Another of his films included in this list is her 2018 romantic drama ‘Zero’ which starred her three superstars – Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.

Zero, directed by Aanand L. Rai, stars Shah Rukh as a dwarf named Baur Singh, Anushka as Aafiya Binder, a scientist with cerebral palsy, and Katrina as Bollywood superstar Babita Kumari. . The film also featured R Madhavan, Abhay Deol, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Sheeba Chaddha, Brijendra Kala and others in supporting roles. Several stars including Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt made guest appearances.

‘Zero’ marks the first collaboration between King Khan and director Aanand L. Rai, who has worked on their previous three films ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011), ‘Raanjhanaa’ (2013) and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011) We’s Manu Returns’ (2015) was a critical and commercial success. So, I had high expectations for this movie, but as the name suggests, “Zero” was very disappointing.

Produced on a huge budget of 200 million rupees, “Zero” received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, and was a huge flop at the box office. According to entertainment tracking portal His Sacnilk.com, the VFX-heavy film netted him only Rs 9,760 crore in India and worldwide box office collection of Rs 178 crore. .

Regarding the film’s failure to screen at the 2019 Beijing International Film Festival, director Khan said, “Unfortunately, ‘Zero’ itself was not well received in its home country of India.Maybe I made the wrong film. Maybe we didn’t do the right storytelling,” he said. So I’m a little worried about how this movie will be received here and I hope the people here like it. It was a shame that we had been making a movie like this for three years and it was rejected by so many people. Not that it didn’t work out or that I’m depressed, but I didn’t want to watch it and I’m going to watch it in three months. Perhaps you can figure out what went wrong. ”

Anushka has not appeared in a Bollywood film since the release of Zero in December 2018, apart from a brief cameo in the 2022 film Qala, produced by her brother Karnesh Sharma. Shah Rukh also made a big comeback last year after taking a break of over four years with two Rs 100-crore blockbusters, Pathaan and Jawan. His third film Dunki, released in 2023, also earned Rs 450 million worldwide.
